Hey what's up Josh? It takes a bit of patience but you can do this fairly quickly. take a regular piece of blank paper and center it on top of your macbook. lightly trace around the apple logo with a pen or pencil until you have have the complete apple logo drawn on the paper. next mark the center of the apple logo with the pen. now cut the apple logo out that you've drawn so that it can now be used as "stencil". now center the comic image on top on the macbook. you should be able to feel the grooves of the apple logo so that you have a good idea of what center is. mark the comic image right in the center of the apple logo that is underneath the comic image. now you can take your stencil that you cut out and match up the center marks you made on both the stencil and the comic image. if they match up you can trace the stencil on top of the comic image and then cut it out using a box cutter (i found the results better with a box cutter then scissors). VOILA! Hope this helps Josh! Keep it unique homie! Lucas
