New Book on Designing for Print
LOS ANGELES — August 4, 2017 — The design-to-print expert Marina Poropat Joyce has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of her book, "Designing For Print."
Nowadays, there are more methods of print in use than at any other time; offset, letterpress, digital printing, silk-screening, engraving and more. To know the limitations and advantages of each method can be confusing, and not knowing can be costly for designers and their clients. Joyce is the first designer/printer to have written a book specifically for designers in designer-speak.
Production training in schools is lacking for design students and digital designers. "Designing For Print" contains all the know-how graphic designers at any level need to work with printers and achieve the results they want.
“'Designing for Print' is the epitome of print education for graphic designers. It is proven advice for designers on how to cost, schedule and build projects for success in digital, offset, letterpress or flexo printing” says Joyce.
"Designing For Print" is a result of Joyce's own costly mistakes made and hard lessons learned through designing and printing for over 20 years. “I had to learn the hard way how to build the vision I had for my designs from the tools; which are paper and ink, foil and die cutting, and all the rest. That wisdom is compiled in this book,” she says.
Marina Joyce is available for both e-mail and live interviews and can be reached for further questions about the project at marina@designingforprint.com
