Print is alive and well, and the graphic designer of today has never had it better. This workshop will open up the vast world of possibilities available in print today. New digital presses are allowing designers unprecedented control of the printed surface, including custom inks, varnishes, foils and other advanced finishing techniques. As well, traditional and ‘do-it yourself’ processes are experiencing grand revivals. This, along with a massive array of paper and other substrates, bring the print designer of today a vast playing field to work in. Students will gain an understanding of the history of print and how traditional and digital printing processes work. They will learn what processes are available and how to access them, and even do it themselves.
This is an online class using the zoom platform.
