Studio Brief 3 - Print

Studio Brief 3 - Design Processes, Page Layout (Indesign)

Print

The brief was very strict with the printing method of my booklet, it stated it that the publication had to be printed using the digital print resource publication printer and staple bound on the a specialist printer.  When I went to enquire about the stock and method of printing I found that the printer could print on paper up to 400GSM however encountered a problem that the machine could not print full bleed images and staple the publication, This meant I would have to staple the book manually. 

I chose to print my book on a double sided glossy stock, I felt this would look the best in terms of putting the design into context. I wanted the book to resemble an event programme, similar to those commonly sold at sporting events such as Athletics and Football. I was initially concerned that the pages would look tacky if the pages were too glossy however I found the stock worked extremely well with the bold rich colours used within my publication. I am happy with the quality of the print, I feel the pages look good on the stock and the colours are bold and eye-catching.
