Learning how to set up artwork for print

Contact with professional printers, manufacturers etc. is something I've never had to do over my time at uni. For Hilda Quick's branding, I decided to hand letterpress business cards. This meant having letterpress blocks manufactured from another company.

Alex recommended a place called Photocast as these are the people who produced his plates.





One thing that didn't even cross my mind before was the process of artworking before sending off to print. This was a little challenging but it made sense to me in the end. Something I'll carry through to next time if I decide to get my own business cards done.

For the price, I was impressed with the quality of these.
