Illustrator is a program that lets you design things. In this case it it a key chain and a laser printer. Most people who work in graphic design use this program. It is similar to Adobe Photoshop, but there are a few differences. The way I used this was for making a key chain, which was an Ender Dragon from Minecraft.

I learned how to use Illustrator, a laser printer, and a vinyl cutter. I learned that the vinyl cutter goes very fast and it is sharp, and you have to use special tools to transfer the cut onto the thing it will be placed on. For the laser I learned that sometimes start on fire but most of the times they put themselves out because the spots the laser hits are very hot, but when the laser moves away, the fire goes away. I also learned that using Illustrator is difficult, with all the buttons and settings that you have to know how and when to use.
