I didn't believe them until I saw it printed! Working with NGS is always an adventure...so much to learn. When designing, I constantly strive to involve the viewer in the p.o.v. so that when you look at it, you can feel a part of the story.

National Geographic can't go wrong making their cover with Greg's art.
