Rastering

Rastering and Engraving

Going to a laser cutting induction, the process of rastering and then engraving the outline of the type was a useful technique in producing clean lines whilst retaining the textured effect of the raster. When leaving the image just rastered, the outlines are slightly jagged from the laser's process of individually engraving vertical lines. Engraving the outline of the type after it has been rastered eliminates the rough edges and produces a clean finish. This will be the desired effect when engraving the title of the publication onto the wooden sleeve.
