Lynn’s October 2024 Challenge: B&W - CLOSED - Winner Announced

Hello October! In the northern hemisphere, we are experiencing one of the most beautiful seasons of all, in my opinion.

• I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ― L. M. Montgomery

So, I find it a bit strange to be taking you away from the vivid colors of autumn and into a world of black and white. But my decision has been made, and I'm sticking to it.

For Lynn's October challenge, I would like you to create a black and white page, with at least one black and white photo. However, as a nod to the color around us, you may use a pop of color, and that color may be used more than once.

See my Halloween-themed layout as an example. I used a black & white adjustment layer along with levels to desaturate and boost contrast for whatever was not black & white. I also increased saturation of the red tones (my pop of color) to make them more vivid.

Mixing several of Lynn's Halloween-themed products: Poe Faced, Midnight Brooms, Nocturne, Batty.




And here are other examples from the team for more inspiration:

Keep those lovely layouts coming!!!

I wanted to let you know that I'll be MIA from October 22 through November 5. I will be traveling with potentially sketchy internet. I will comment when I can. This will also mean the delay of announcing a winner for this challenge & sending out coupons until after I return home. But no worries, it will happen.

 

Just a reminder to post your page in the gallery. I can't find it yet, but maybe I'm too quick!
