Grace Chipley-Thompson, Editorial Designer, says “I really wanted to push the boundaries for our Top Docs cover and try something we'd never done before. I was inspired so much by the volunteers we were profiling. They really are the final ‘piece of the puzzle’ when it comes to patient care. And so the idea of cutting out pieces of paper to create an image was born. It was a labor of love, with lots of trial and error. But the end result was all worth it!”

SILVER: 417 Magazine’s Backyard Nature Photography

“When I was approached about writing a photo essay showcasing my nature photography, I was intrigued by the idea of captivating readers by keeping the narrative close to home. I decided to center the story around images captured solely in my own backyard, aiming to immerse the audience in the beauty of our local surroundings,” says Brandon Alms, Senior Photographer and Designer.
