1. A method of making an article, comprising:
coating a substrate with a layer of magnetically-orientable flakes;
passing the coated substrate through a magnetic field to orient the magnetically-orientable flakes; and
selectively curing a first portion of the oriented magnetically-orientable flakes to have a first dihedral angles relative to a plane of the substrate.
