Bells and Whistles: Printing with Special Effects

Well-printed material not only attracts attention, but also draws the viewer to touch it and to experience its surface. The special creations documented in this book are the result of designers' unlimited imagination. The seemingly cold, unemotional printing applications viewers may be accustomed to are transformed into projects defined by liveliness and experimentation. This book collects over 100 marvelous print projects that ingeniously combine special effects with designers ideas, showing how various shapes and different printing crafts and materials will help build up a work. Alongside every project theres a brief introduction to the crafts and materials used. Bells & Whistles presents a picture of how the world of graphic design is evolving in our time.
