Collected in these pages you will find graphic design in which the qualities of the paper itself inspired or directed the finished piece.

When The End of Print was published in 1995, it set a nervous little shiver through the graphic design world. Although most pooh-poohed the books dire theories, it nevertheless made many designers feel a tad defensive. Almost instantly, design conferences were hosting in-your-face, packed-to-the-gills sessions about why print was not ending. Discussions on printed graphics - using paper in more cost-effective, time-efficient, environmentally conscious, design - expanding ways that incidentally produced far fewer paper cuts - sprung up everywhere, in trade pubs, on-line, and in classrooms.
