Task 3 - Stock Options & Print Finishing

Study Task

With a focus on Stock, Substrate and 'special' Print Finishes find as many variants as possible for each of the following areas of Design:

  • Branding and Identity 
  • Packaging and Promotion 
  • Publishing & Editorial 
  • Information & Wayfinding 

You should consider production values, scale and functionality in relation to appropriate contexts and target audiences and evaluate their impact on the design decisions that have been made. Wherever possible you should aim to collect physical/actual examples of print as this will help you to evaluate the important tactile, formal and functional elements of your source material

Your findings should be recorded and critically evaluated on your Design Context blog.
