OUGD504 - Studio Brief 01 - Embossing and Foiling workshop

On Tuesday I attended an embossing, flocking and foiling workshop in the print studio as these are some of the processes that I want to incorporate into my publication.

It made me realise some of the limitations these processes had and that it wouldn't be easy to do some of the things that I had envisioned. 

For one I would have to ensure that any foiling is done before screen printing so that the ink does not stick to the paper when put under the heat press for foiling if done the other way round.

Smaller pieces of type would also be too small to foil so metallic ink screen printing would work better than foiled lettering for elements such as the spine.
