At Present...

As it stands i am now figuring out the final product/outcome and the realistic forms it can take. I am doing this project based on the tactility and the lack of physicality available to designers, combined with the beauty, glamour and inspirational qualities paper stock and print process has.

The final outcome must be considered and not a self indulgent piece.

I've been drawn towards book form, something easy to reference from, and something coherent.

The process' i have decided to use will be each printed on several stocks and in different colour variations. The designs for each process will be formed with different elements to best show off the process' in order to show their limitations and highlight the expanse of their capabilities.

Differing line weights, point sizes etc etc will form the designs. Each process will have a different design, but each individual process will have the same design. For example two different die blocks will be made for embossing and de-bossing - each with a different design - therefore each piece of embossing will have the same design on each page if you will, but on differing stocks. This way of producing the processes is not only far more cost effective, it is also crucial to what i am trying to demonstrate. If each page for one process is the same, it gives the viewer a consistent with which they can make informed print decisions.

I'm not quite sure if i've delivered what i'm trying to say in a very coherent way but right now i know what i mean as do my printers - more of a concise post to come!
