Diving in Deep With GP+ I t's the time of year for resolutions, goal setting, and so many other commitments to change that come with a new circle around the sun. Changes here at GR APHICS PRO are nothing new. But this year we have some fun items that we hope will help us all be just a little bit better than we were before. First of all, we have a new coat of paint. I've been work- ing with our art director, Linda Cranston, for 15 years and it's about time I namedrop her in a column because she continuously strives for a better product every year that both jumps off the page and makes reading our magazine as easy and intuitive as possible. Her design for this year gives me that feeling that our readers get when they nail that new logo for their client, perfectly hit that registration on a seamless wrap, or nail the perfect color for a T-shirt you just know is going to fly off the rack. Secondly, we are introducing our new GP+ section to take a deeper dive into a single topic every month. is month we will be focusing on screen printing, with col- umns to help you train your staff, fine tune your tech- nique, and run a more productive shop. e section can be found after page 32. Our GP+ section will be a must-read segment for both those in the industry and those looking to see if that's the next place they want to take their business. Our GP+ sections for the upcoming year are: • February — Team Sports • March — Wide-Format Printing • April — Sublimation • May — Heat-Applied Graphics • June — Start Here: Your Guide to Getting Started in a New Graphics Venture • July — Custom Gift Annual • August — Wraps • September — LookBook: A Guide to the Hottest Decorative Apparel Styles • October — Direct-to-Substrate Printing • November — Laser Engraving We hope you'll enjoy these special sections, and we invite you to share your experiences in these industry seg- ments by sending us photos of your projects.
