  2. Print them out on a color printer on separate sheets.
  3. Stick the pages together back-to-back.
  4. Fold at the hinge.

You're done! Sit back and admire the form factor...

How it Should Look

Hmmmm...

Perhaps we should have used A3 paper... it looks a little small next to a normal black MacBook. If you can do better, email me your attempts and I'll add them to this page.

Updates

Special thanks to Lucky Magpantay and Mark Lloyde Magpantay from the Philippines, they did a much better job printing it out than I did. I used the photo of their version for the title image of this article.
