Ed Lives Here
A couple months ago I interned at Carte Blanche Creative. While I was there, I worked on a project which involved meeting with a representative from Spicers. She introduced to us the Ed Series, a promotional piece by Newpage.
The Ed Series is a series meant to educate about everything to do with papers, printing, as well as design. There are 12 books in total:
- Metallics
- Quadtones
- Stochastic and Conventional
- Protective Coverings
- Enhancing Colour
- Embossing and Foil Stamping
- Retouching
- Digital Variables
- Understanding Inks
- Prepress
- Print It
- Standards
Each book not only has reading material about the topic, but has printed examples for you to touch and see. In book 6, Embossing and Foil Stamping, there are pages of embossed icons for you to touch. Fun!
I looked around online and it turns out you can get your own copy of the Ed series from the Ed Lives Here website. It is a great resource for students and I definitely recommend it. Best of all, it’s free!
