PRINT DESIGN
& PRODUCTION

Each of the following projects required its own unique consideration for print design and file set-up for print production. With print design, setting up files that are "print-ready" is essential and need to include layers for any spot gloss, spot color, or die cuts, and any special instructions for the print vendor depending on the project. One the files are received by a vendor, I always conduct either a digital or physical proof check and, depending on the project, a press check as well.
