Despite the growing importance of environmental issues, many graphic designers and printers remain unaware of the huge potential of paper. This is the first book about paper to address the specific needs of the design and print industries, including advice on die-cutting, embossing, pop-up and sculptural effects, and a wealth of special printing techniques. Designed by the author's own award-winning company, Williams & Phoa, the book itself demonstrates a variety of these effects, with spot-varnished and die-cut pages and a unique paper cover. Outstanding examples of international design illustrate the traditional craft skills of the graphic designer alongside the latest products of new technology. Paperwork received the prestigious Design and Art Directors' Association (D&AD) silver award in 1994 for the most outstanding complete book.

Review
The potentials of paper in graphic design are explored in an excellent source book which is the first to blend paper art with concerns of the design and print world. The 1993 hardcover won acclaim: this paperback edition will reach new audiences with a more affordable price tag and an excellent display of design works from around the world. -- Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars
An all-in-one book about paper and printing,
By yevaud@ciudad.com.ar (Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paperwork (Phaidon Colour Library) (Paperback)
I first read this book quite some years ago, and happened to find a copy just now. For a neophyte like myself, who has to work with different kinds of papers, technics and prints, it is a real blessing. Of course, if you are a trained professional on the subject, you probably already know everything it says...Anyway, if you want a book that's pretty interesting (and well made too), this is the one!
