  • Yo Print Gurus! What's the technical term?

    #1
    For the phenomenon that occurs when trimming saddle stiched booklets - that the interior pages will have more trimmed off the outer edges due to the thickness of the paper - the more pages, the greater the excess trim at the interior pages.

    We can't recall it right off hand - I told my colleague to make something up, like Multi-page die drift, since the guy he's trying to describe this to wont know what we're talking about anyway - but he's just gotta be right, so be a friend and give us the skinny!

            slug is when the agency places job and designer information off the edge of the page.

                Pretty sure that's the slug area. Usually at the bottom of the page....... yes it's not very interesting is it?

                  Thanks, now we can sound like perfessionals when trying to explain this to the Chinese!

                  I thought Slug was this dude that tried to get you to sell him an Everlasting Gobstopper.

                                Awesome-I need to learn Blender and can't wait, but I find sketching the basis of all art. I started sketching daily, but man, ugh after years of being absent from the creative field-in fact the exact...

                                Crotch whiskers? LOL.
                                Not sure about style but they are just normal wear patterns you want to laser on the jeans (cool process btw).
                                As for doing them in Photoshop...my question to you is...

                                I just don't understand your reasoning for everything, especially on this latest card. Why the random shapes bleeding off the edge? Why is there so much space between your name and the "web, print,...

                                Commented to Gerber Software
                                Which Gerber software?
                                Next question, why not import from Adobe to Gerber. We use signwares often. For output. Rarely for design (though some things are far easier to do in sgnwares over Illustrator...)

                                I do not believe there is Blur to Halftone button in Illustrator.
                                Any time I want to do a vector halftone (with dots), I use Rasterbator (bad name, good program)
                                But maybe what you are wanting...

                                I'm not going to bother saying what's already been said, I agree with it. I would suggest showcasing one area of interest per poster.

                                Assuming it's to be displayed in hallways and/or within...

                                It's done by "hand". No plug-ins. No scripts. The designer uses their design skills to create ... um ... designs. Take a look at the video and links on this 2012 thread. All hand done from the...

                                Yeah, the hierarchy is an issue. The "ITD" and how it is rendered is more feint than the items surrounding it. The illustrations are nice, but unfortunately, not really important. I would not...
