This project was made on the epilogue laser at TechShop. It was a simple project that made a great decoration for my basement bar. http://www.techshop.ws/ http://youtu.be/xGytDsqkQY8
Design With Corel Draw

Using Corel Draw, I created two layers to the design. the first was a sign "sorry we're closed" which was to be printed, and the second was "every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end" - a lyric quote which is rastered off.
Printing With the Laser

I printed each layer individually, the print first and the raster second. Each material is different so I had to experiment with some scrap to find a look I wanted. After finding the right setting, the layers had to be printed. Prepare for a wait because this project took 45 minutes total, but they range depending on settings.
