What are you working on (in November 2024)?

[Julie Magerka]

I'm not able to do the Text Workshop this time, but I enjoy seeing the output from others who are.

I don't actively look for photos online, but if they happen to appear in front of me, and they touch me somehow, I grab them as a layout possibility.

National Geographic is a good source, and I get plenty of emails from them (even though I don't pay for a subscription to read the articles). This one is from their Photos of the Century collection, and I just loved the face. So many of the pix they present are sad and reflect the steady decline of wildlife species and flora of the world. Since 2005, this photographer has taken pix of over 10K species to document their peril and to encourage people to be aware. I think Nat'l Geo is preaching to the converted, unfortunately.

I did an extraction of the image since it had a black background and was straightforward to do (but not perfect I fear). Anna Aspnes and Katie Pertiet design elements used. Font for 'cheetah' is Stardust.

A great layout and so you!  You do the design elements of Anna Aspnes and Katie Pertiet justice and those fit your style perfectly.

I do know of Joel Sartore and his project called The Photo Ark.  I watched a series he did (about 6 episodes or so) and it was really good, but I knew about him back when he first started it.  there are books I think, but I remember they were very expensive.   What a beautiful layout you made, your colors are always well chosen.

I've watched him before, too. He does amazing work, sometimes at great risk. You can search for your favorite animals on his website.
