Powerpoint Presentation

Our summer project was broken down into two areas. 

1 - too keep a journal of our summer (a graphic representation) 

2 - produce a short (5 minute) presentation about different aspects of print

So after the presentations in small groups of 5 were told too put our slideshows on our blogs. Not a problem only my presentation fell apart when 4 slides failed too open and this blog wont load my presentation.  So as a compromise I'm putting up some of my images which I used in my presentation, along with information about each print technique and stock uses etc. 

The book shown above titled "Print and Finish" by Ambrose/Harris is what I used for the majority of my research for the Print Production presentation.  This is a book that I would recommend to anyone wishing to gain some knowledge on different types of print and stock that can be used too print on.

Above: Duplexing - refers to the bonding of two substrates to form a single one.  This allows a stock to have different colours, texture and finishes on each side.  

Above: Stocks - each card shown above uses a different stock paper and applies a series of different finishing techniques, such as foil blocks and varnishes to create an array of interesting effects.

Above: Silk screen printing - this form of printing imposes an image on to a substrate by forcing ink through a screen that contains the design.  This is nit a high volume printing method because each colour that is applied to the substrate has too dry before another can be applied.  

Above: Screen print and Emboss - this design is screen printed onto onto grey board stock, embossed and given a clear varnish coating.  The varnish gives the screen print extra prominence and highlights the contrasting rough texture of the board while giving tactile difference in the surface.
