GD USA Cover Contest

GD USA Cover Contest

GD USA and NEENAH Paper is having a cover design contest based on their papers. I just entered mine yesterday. It is one of my photos and I chose it because they have this paper called Epic Black. It is going to be digitally printed so they can do white ink. I added the "Enter Epic" in Photoshop. The more colorful version is my first try and then I ended up zooming in and desaturating it in my final version.

The last 2 weekends I had a 4 day weekend and then a 3 day weekend. Still posting some photos from Ryker's birthday party and Zoo trip and our trip to the fair. But now it's back to normal work hours with some overtime.
