Design Context : Design for Print

To put in each one of my publications i want have a quote which the person who reads it then has to go and fill it in at the print rooms, i feel a quote that is related to print will be obviously appropriate but it will also inform the person using it about print and give them something interesting that someone famous may have said that they didn't already know about print.

Gathering quotes to put in each publication

“The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, one sometimes forgets which”

James Mathew Barrier

'Before Printing was discovered a century was equal to a thousand years'

Henry David Thoreau

'The Printing press is the greatest weapon in the arms of the modern commander'

T.E Lawrence

“You can have an art experience in front of a Rembrandt… or in front of a piece of graphic design.”

— Stefan Sagmeister

“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.”

— Paula Scher

“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“Never fall in love with an idea. They’re whores. If the one you’re with isn’t doing the job, there’s always, always, always another.”

— Chip Kidd

“I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares, as opposed to ugly things. That’s my intent.”

— Saul Bass

“Good design is all about making other designers feel like idiots because that idea wasn’t theirs.”

— Frank Chimero

“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.”

— Jeffrey Zeldman

interesting books i could take inspiration from

I like the use of how this page folds out it makes the book more interesting
i also like how the antique white paper has been used, it works really well with the colours.

Again this book is more interactive because the paper has folded out.
