TASK
With
a focus on stock, substrate and 'special' print finishes, find as many
variants as possible of the following areas of design:
* Branding and Identity
* Packaging and Promotion
* Publishing and Editorial
* Information and 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. Where possible you should
aim to collect physical/actual examples of print as this will help you
to evaluate important tactile, formal, and functional elements of your
source material.
