10 practical tips for designing custom PCB art

The EngineerDog blog discusses ways to design custom circuit board art.

Printed circuit boards are widely recognized for their essential role in electronics tech, but I think they have underappreciated potential as an artistic medium too. The PCB badge projects you see at hacker conferences always catch my eye for their unique look and creativity.

Somewhere along the line KiCad’s open source PCB design software evolved from intolerable into something I enjoy using.

I set a goal for myself to produce a birthday cake badge in time for my daughter’s 7th birthday at the end of the month!

In this post I’ll share some practical tips I picked up along the way plus a new product reveal!
