What’s the print?

I have learnt throughout this project, that to finish on a standard I am proud of, I need to be on top of EVERYTHING: research, images, references, writing, the list goes on. For the first time in my FMB career I can finally see myself finishing early and I couldn’t be happier!

So, as the end of the brand book approaches, I will need to consider printing options. In an ideal world, where money grew on trees and I had all the time in the world, I’d love to print this project using the services at John E Wright – they offer an abundance of paper options and printing techniques, plus it’s a 30 second walk from my uni house. BUT… this just isn’t feasible for me, an estimate for my 45-page A5 brand book alone was £60, and I still have my report and my exhibition visuals to print as well; these no doubt will be far more expensive.

However, I have done more research into the paper offered at NTU’s own print shop and I plan to use “photo lustre” whilst this is slightly more expensive than gloss and matte paper, the final look of the brand book should be higher in quality and still within my price range/budget. Timing of course wherever you print will be an issue, especially at the university print shop. I really have done myself a massive favour by finishing early so I can avoid the long queues.
