Computer Arts Projects - the Print Design issue

Our print design issue, packed with inspiration, technique and inside-track advice from the world’s best, is on sale now. Our lead interview gets under the skin of Scott Dadich, creative director of Wired – the magazine that art directors the world over turn to for inspiration. Pentagram partner Luke Hayman dissects his favourite redesigns, and in a special project on music design, we explore the album artwork of Mogollon, Big Active and more.

Print is a beautiful craft, otherwise we’d all have gone digital years ago, and you wouldn’t be holding this magazine in your hands. With this in mind, we asked Fluid Studios to reveal the process behind a recent project combining all manner of tactile treatments – from sculptural embossing to coloured foil blocking – as an inspirational benchmark for your own print work.

For good measure we’ve thrown in a handy reference guide to special inks, stocks and bindings, and turned the tables with a printer’s perspective on the headaches that preflighting laziness can cause on the print floor. As a special treat, there’s even a free eBoy poster tucked amongst our pages, courtesy of pixart.it. Find out more at computerarts.co.uk
