Response: Paper


I was so excited about receiving paper samples in class on Tuesday. Paper will never go away. There is something exciting about it – it is tangible, colorful, and there are so many different types. I was given an invitation to a friend's wedding. It is beautifully designed and beautifully printed. It was printed on a letterpress. This shows the importance of good paper selection. The invitation was printed on a very heavy card stock paper. It is probably the thickness of a restaurant coaster. When printed, the type and images made deep impressions on the paper. It's so cool to run your finger over the type!
