PaperSpecs free online seminar The Wow Factor: Taking Foil Stamping to the Next Level, will take place Thursday, December 10 at 2 p.m. (EST/11 a.m. PT). The webinar is made possible thanks to the generous support of VMA Storyboard. At the forefront of the current letterpress movement – the rediscovery of old printing machines and techniques by young designers – lie techniques such as foil printing, which has enjoyed a renaissance among forward-thinking designers. This webinar will explore the phenomenal detail, sensuousness and impact of Studio on Fire’s work, as it transcends the differences between current and classical graphic design styles. You’ll discover how foil stamping can enhance the final, tangible printed product in wild, boundary-pushing and provocative ways.
Ben Levitz, Founder and Principal of Studio on Fire, will discuss how foil stamping can elevate a piece to the next level by adding dimension, texture and brilliance, ultimately producing the “wow” factor. Highlights include:
- Explanation and demonstration of foil stamping that delves into the brilliant world of next-level foil stamping techniques.
- How foil is applied and reaches far beyond basic gold and silver.
- Exploration of the different types of foil – including metallic, pigments, holographics and tints.
- What types of unique dies are used for stamping.
- A deep dive into where foil stamping is best suited as a technique, and where it doesn’t work – including real-life examples of some of Studio on Fire’s best and most exotic foil stamping work.
