Graphic Idea Resource: Pre-Press provides visual insight for graphic designers on pre-press techniques. Great designers know that a strong, well-executed final design is not purely the result of a good repro-house and a good printer, but that at a well-thought-through creative process can also make the difference in the quality of the final design. Not to mention the schedule and the budget. This book presents work from designers who think creatively about pre-press and get results for the client.
