The Basics Design series is designed to provide graphic arts students with a theoretical and practical exploration of fundamental topics, including layout, format, typography, colour and image. Packed with examples from students and professionals and fully illustrated with clear diagrams and inspiring imagery, they offer an essential exploration of the subject. The second edition of the sixth book in the series, Print and Finish is a guide to the printing and finishing techniques employed by graphic design studios all over the world. A thorough understanding of these techniques will equip the designer with the ability to harness the creative potential of these processes and add creative elements to a design in order to increase its impact and functionality. Showcasing seven different paper and ink stocks and finishes, the book is an invaluable reference tool. With new contributions and activities, the second edition builds on the success of the first, and is an absolute must-have for all design students.
Basics Design 06- Print & Finish by Gavin Ambrose and Paul Harris provides an introduction to a variety of printing and finishing techniques. Presentation is everything in graphic design, and professionally applied printing and finishing techniques can add value to a design by imbuing it with a range of different visual and tactile qualities. Ultimately, such processes unite the different elements of a design in a coherent manner allowing it to achieve its intended purpose. The book is itself printed on seven different paper stocks - including coated, uncoated, coloured, woodfree and matt - allowing the reader to see the results that can be achieved with creative stock selection.
The Production Manual demonstrates the practical aspects of getting a creative job into production. This hands-on production guide shows graphic design students how to apply the knowledge acquired during their course. All the essential areas of production that involve the graphic designer are covered in detail with clear descriptions of the various technical processes, including design for print, exhibition stands, packaging and signage. In the case of print work, The Production Manual tackles issues such as image resolution, printing techniques, and plate-making: all those aspects that ensure that a graphic design project is produced as required and for maximum effect. The Production Manual also highlights the inspirational side of production, for example, highly creative printing processes and how to achieve tricky effects such as duotones and halftones.
