Progress Update

Here is the redesign of the original cover &opening-page spread with the cyan, the new 1-2 page layout for the "Natural Allergens" and a proposal for a sticker direction. They're a little on the large end. About 4-5" in width, but we can change that if we need to. Okay! Still working, can't wait to see everyone's progress later.

Hey guys, I really think we need three pages.. 

Two pages isn't enough real estate and it isn't that impressive, you know? Are we just starting out with two for now? Can we add later?
