(For demonstration purposes I painted one side of my corrugated cardboard black.) • Adobe's Illustrator or other comparable vector graphics authoring tool • Access to a Laser cutter • White glue and a sponge brush to apply it Prepare the Image Files I use Adobe's Illustrator CS4 as my vector image authoring tool. Concentric 2D Morphing Shapes • Create a 6.5x10" file.
