An updated, as promised: Today we went to where paper lives. KW Doggett were kind enough to open their doors to us and showed us around their warehouse and office. We got to play with different paper stock and see how different papers effected printing. I learnt about a few more printers that I am going to add to an ever expanding spreadsheet to quote when the time comes. The lady was a lot more relaxed today and therefore was more excited to teach, although she was still disappointed by two people in the class.
I am really inspired to do something with uncoated paper because I think the results of soft, deep, photography printed can be really beautiful. Whether or not Boozehound will suit that finish is undecided and will be cleared up by next weeks style guide. Regardless, I think I am going to go there again with another design friend who has produced a magazine and purchase some stuff for each other (we have been planning a zine for forever) and for Boozehound. Today I have also begun setting up our Trello. I am about 60% done, I just need to finish off putting all the information in, which I think can be done over a coffee some time this week.
