Grafikdesigner seeking to enhance their work with techniques like blind embossing or glow-in-the-dark ink often face a lack of meaningful examples. Existing resources typically showcase these finishes only through photographs, failing to convey their tactile qualities. Alternatively, examples found in print shop brochures tend to be overly technical, diminishing their visual and tactile appeal. This book aims to bridge that gap by providing a more engaging and informative exploration of these printing techniques.
