The Power of Paper in Graphic Design [Paperback]

Catharine Fishel (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2004

Even with the growth of CD-ROMs, DVDs, and the World Wide Web, printed design is bigger than ever. There's only one design element that separates digital from print: paper. In the world of print, paper choice influences every design project. This new collection of paper graphics presents the most striking and effective design work from top designers around the world. Selected to provide readers with inspiration, know-how, and fresh ideas, The Power of Paper in Graphic Design boldly illustrates how paper can act as the driving force behind the design. Attention is also given to the ways in which paper choice is incorporated into design-as a means of expressing concept, for its aesthetic qualities, and for its structural properties.
