The pulp cover is in the final stages and the part of the project where you think to yourself, wow Im nearly done and then you spend forever tweaking things and upgrading things you already did. Always trying to make good, better and better, the best. Lots of time gets spent in this finishing stage. Perhaps thats the difference between an novice and expert or perhaps being more intuitive vs rigid planning? regardless, this is what I have at this point. One with an aging effect, as if you opened some old boxes in your dads attic or basement and discovered a gem from years gone by, and one without, so you can see the difference. (OK EDIT! posted the final, version, some of the masthead graphic placement wasnt exactly what I need so some mine tweaks!)
Upon printing this out, I’ve found the Pinks/reds are WAY blown out and the BG is far too dark. There should be a much better red/green balance. I’m going to rebalance the colors for the final printing.
