laser cutting text

Today I had my first laser cutting session for Fedrigoni. This session was purely experimental - with the hope of finding the best way to create the four desired words for the content for the printed media that Chris will be designing.



I think that it looks really good so far - however I cant decide whether the letters look more interesting left in the card that they are cut in and photographed like that :

...which restricts the design to one colour, or whether it looks more interesting taken out of the card and re-arranged like a jigsaw onto a different shade of green :

I definitely think that the colour and lighting of this image is more interesting, but the one above was taken outside in daylight which could be why it looks slightly more flat.... 

I will discuss this with Chris tomorrow and see what he thinks. We plan to make the publication itself as colourful as possible, so it may not matter that the images themselves are not multicoloured. 

We also decided today that we might add a calendar to our list of deliverables, and so I am going to change the four words to 'spring' summer' 'autumn' and 'winter' as we feel that these words reflect the colour palettes really accurately and it wont confuse things.
