Graphic Design Theory – Print Design

If you are like so many of us amazed by a beautifully designed poster or magazine cover, buying a chocolate just because of its cool packaging, if you love design in print form, then you’ve come to the right place.

Print design focuses on producing designs printed onto tangible surfaces and products,and we can say that it is the oldest, classic field of Graphic Design, as old as the profession itself.

With this rich history we have a long way to look back, and even more to look forward to as new trends arise and more and more industries modernize their look and appeal, and professional printing and packaging services become more accessible to small brands.

Because of this, learning the key terms, best practices and industry standards of printing is very important for any professional designer.
