Paper Graphics 2: The Power of Paper in Graphic Design - Tapa dura

Despite the growth of CD-ROMs, DVDs and the Internet, printed design is bigger than ever. Only one design element separates digital designs from print: paper. In the world of print, paper choice influences every design project. This collection of paper graphics presents the most striking and effective work from top designers around the world. With designs chosen to provide readers with inspiration, know-how and fresh ideas, this book boldly illustrates how paper can act as the driving force behind a design. Attention is also given to how paper choice is incorporated into a design - as a means of expressing concept, for its aesthetic qualities and for its structural properties. Bold, close-up photography spotlights each project and insightful copy tells how the paper was chosen and why it makes the piece so special.
