VECTORIZE!

Assignment Brief:                

Create a large, wearable, neck-piece using illustrator and the vinyl cutter. Your piece must have at least two colors and must have be turned in with a photograph of it being worn, an image of the pre-cut vector art and the actual file used for the cutting. Your piece must cover at least 1/4 of your body.  (Exp: Neck + chest, Arms + hands, Legs + feet etc)
