In this unit I learned a lot about how to use Illustrator. Before this unit I knew the basics like how to turn and image into a vector but I never knew that you could edit the vectors. To get the shape of the duck right I edited the vectors and got it how I wanted it. I also learned that you could group items in your image together. This made cutting the vinyl much more efficient and also made applying the vinyl much easier. I also learned a lot about how the vinyl cutter itself works. Before this unit I would always just follow the instructions sheet and not know how to fix it if anything went wrong. By the end of this unit I was able to use the vinyl cutter without the instruction sheet and know how to fix most problems on my own.
