What is design for print booklet

Here's 2 DPS sample (not finished) page's from my 16 page 'what is print' booklet.

Flight checking for print

We had the task to check a document for errors before it went to print, in teams of 3 we started to work our way through the document finding errors which included wrong colour modes, RGB not CMYK, Wrong Image size, Use of colours not needed, Use of registration black instead of Key black, No bleed.

This was all done manually using our knowledge and the info tab,it can also be done by uses the preflight option in the file tab, but it is best to check for your self and give the printer a report in a text file.

Design idea development

Narrowed down my idea to, chili is a thrill, and to design packaging that promotes chili. The packaging needs to grab attention but also need to represent chili as a exciting flavor. I intend to look at packaging of chili's in supermarket's for my initial research.

concept statement what is good

summary of print presentation

• Choose a colour mode for your design, full colour or spot colour and weather it will be mono tone ,duo tone etc.
• Now this has been chosen you can choose which method you will print your work. eg offset lithograph, flexograph, silk screen or thermograph.
• now you can choose the stock you would like to print on as some printing methods are better for some stocks than others. eg if you were printing onto sand paper you would have to silk screen as running sand paper through a lithograph may cause damage to the machine. If you were printing a detailed full colour print on to newsprint a lithogrpah machine would be better than flexograph machine as more detail is kept in the aluminum paltes compared to the rubber plates.
• Each design needs to be considered differently when sent to print. And you can also keep control over your work if you know how the final outcome will be printed.

Im quite interested into the finishing stage of print where varnish's and coating's can be applied as well as embossing, engraving and di cutting. Some thing i want to find more about is thermography where a powder is mixed in with the ink and when the ink dries it creates a raised surface effects. I would also like to look into di cutting and foil covering.
