Printing Design for Graphic Designers An Inspirational Guide to Special Production Techniques and Finishes

Printing Design for Graphic Designers: An Inspirational Sourcebook by Shaoqiang Wang is a comprehensive guide to printing techniques and their application in contemporary graphic design — covering the full range of print production methods from letterpress and screen printing through digital offset and special finishing techniques including foiling, embossing, and die-cutting. Wang presents each technique with both technical explanation and visual examples drawn from recent graphic design work, showing how an understanding of print production can dramatically expand a designer’s creative possibilities. Published by SendPoints with extensive colour illustration, this is an essential reference for graphic design students and professionals who want to understand the production dimension of their work — the possibilities and constraints of paper, ink, and the physical object.
