<p><a href="http://www.thefolk.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Folk</strong></a> was recently appointed to a creative agency panel for a large financial institution. They created a DM piece to raise <strong>Folk’s</strong> profile and get the client’s marketing teams talking and thinking about working with <strong>Folk</strong> in the future.</p>
<p>With its key message of “enjoy working with a creative agency that’s a good fit”, the ‘Perfect Fit’ was a T–shirt shape die-cut card, we printed two sides onto yellow (<strong>Folk&#8217;s</strong> signature colour) Kaskad stock (K.W.Doggett Fine Paper) with fabric label (singer sewn) stitched in. The key message was reinforced through ‘idea instruction’ and label copy – ‘100% ideas’, ‘Designer fit’, ‘idea instructions’ – and a collection of quirky icons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have not heard about the <a href="http://au.linkedin.com/" target="_blank">Linkedin</a> group Print Production Professionals or website <a href="http://printmediacentr.com/" target="_blank">PrintmediaCentr.com</a> you may not know Deb Corn. Deb is the creator of one of LinkedIn’s largest Print groups.</p>
<p>I met up with Deb at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas and interviewed her about all things print. Deb was there as a media sponsor to find out the low down at <a href="http://www.appforum.org/?red_attempt=1&amp;sessionId=iiJ01KUIj2tbuLmIs0GVU74WbRua0mZa" target="_blank">PODiAppForum</a> 12.</p>

</div>
<h1></h1>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> Hi  Deb, you start off all the interviews with this question, so it’s fitting I do as well… Who is Deborah Corn and what does she do?</h1>
<p>Well, if I were a package, the label would say, “Contains 100% all natural Print Production and Integrated Marketing and Project Management Professional grown from 24 years industry experience, primarily in advertising agencies. This product also contains the COO of <strong>PrintMediacentr</strong> and its primary blogger, a social media marketer, and a <strong>LinkedIn</strong> Group cultivator”… but when you opened it up you would pretty much find a multi-tasking lunatic who enjoys a good laugh.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> What is PrintMediaCentr and how did that come about? Can you also tell me about the LinkedIn group you started “Print Production Professionals?”</h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">PrintMediaCentr is a website that provides information and resources to the Print and Integrated Marketing Industry</span></strong> – at least according to my business card. We tend to focus on what I call “the people” – meaning that you can find information about a new printing press from a number of sources, so we focus on “the people” who are using that equipment, how are they using it, and the cool projects we hope are being created by them and their customers. We believe the power of print in the multi-channel world does indeed still exist in what we call “The Printerverse”… and while we are avid print supporters, we share information on digital technologies as well. Best case, print is the catalyst to the digital world.</p>
<p>Ah my little<strong> LinkedIn</strong> Group. That is something that still amazes me. A few years back I was looking for work and exhausted my resources. In true Print Producer fashion, I created a way to bring people to me vs seeking them out, therefore expanding my networking circles exponentially without having to do the work. Or so I thought. At first it was small enough to manage a visit here and there, but then a community started to develop. Besides networking for jobs, people were asking their peers for help with projects or resources for them. <span style="color: #000000;">Conversations about the evolving world of marketing were taking place</span> – and intelligent ones at that. People started emailing and thanking me for creating the group. One comment I will never forget was “joining Print Production Professionals is like having 5000 colleagues down the hall” – that meant something to me. And yeah, at that point the group had just a little over 5000 members, which blew my mind it had gotten that big. Little did I know that was just the beginning of it!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> When I first met you at GraphExpo in Chicago last September, your Print Production Professionals group had approximately 24,000 members. Four months later here at PODi AppForum I learn the group has grown to 27,500 members! That’s a staggering number. Can you share your secret on how you single handedly created an international print community of over 27,500 members in less than 4 years?</h1>
<p>You have to keep up Theo! We are now at<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> 28,700+</strong></span> &#8211; so yes almost another thousand members since we saw each other.  I wouldn’t say I had a secret, but<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> I can tell you that the growth does reflect upon my dedication, time and effort to make it work as much as the active and quality contributions and participation of our members.</span></strong> I may be the group owner/manager, but I am still just one person who cant possibly comment on every discussion because I don’t know something about every subject. When I do know something, or even have a question about the topic, I do try to chime in without being annoying. In some cases I may chime in on a subject I think is interesting to get it going so I can learn. So I guess maybe that is the secret – create a place where relevant content can be shared and discussed with knowledgeable professionals… in an orderly fashion of course. I have a zero solicitation policy in regards to freestanding posts – but if someone asks for help, members can respond with their capabilities and contact information. Monitoring that is very time consuming, but per the results, well worth it.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> How important is social media with your marketing efforts and do you have a strategy behind it? How do you manage to control so much online activity?</h1>
<p>Social media is imperative with everything I do wearing my <strong>PrintMediaCentr</strong> hat, and of course that includes <strong>LinkedIn</strong>. Im also very fortunate to have a built-in audience of 28,000+ <strong>Linkedin</strong> Group members to share relevant PMC info and posts with, and also connect to through other channels.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>My strategy is very simple – BE YOURSELF, and the rest will follow.</strong></span> If I think something is cool and worth sharing, then a whole bunch of others will as well. If they don’t, well they always have the option of opting out of “me” and my feeds. I’d rather have 10 followers engaged with me than 30,000 ships passing in the night – (do you use that expression down under?) but somewhere in the middle of that spectrum is the perfect audience balance.</p>
<p>Control is a word I don’t think you can really apply to social media. You certainly have control of what you initially put out there, but where it goes and how it is shared or restated or reused I would say 95% of the time I have no idea besides the google alerts and emails I get from<strong> LinkedIn</strong>, <strong>YouTube</strong>, <strong>Facebook</strong> and<strong> Twitter</strong>. I do use tools to help me like hootsuite to follow twitter and tweet adder to send direct messages about events or webinars and things of that nature. The rest is all done manually and quite often my office sounds like a casino with all the dings and pings from numerous social media channels and email accounts going off that belong to me, <strong>PrintMediaCentr</strong>, and a few of my social media clients that I monitor channels for. I use the word monitor specifically since I NEVER pretend I’m them and reply to anything. I just watch and let them know something is up and either they respond or instruct me on how to.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> Over the past year I have been watching both<span style="color: #ff0000;"> PrintMediaCentr</span> and <span style="color: #ff0000;">Print Production Professionals</span> with keen interest. I have watched it grow and develop a strong solid following. It provides a great facility to reach out to the print community via your resource in a very easy and time effective manner. What makes it so good and why is everyone so keen to be connected to it?</h1>
<p>Well first off thanks for your kind words. I think with anything new that comes along people are willing to take a look through the window. If they think they see something of interest, they will take the next step and walk through the door. If they find themselves a nice comfy spot by the fireplace, they are willing to hang out for a while. If they make a few friends while roasting some marshmallows, they will come back.  That is a very round about analogy for growing an audience.  If we go the metaphysical route, the Law of Atrraction states like attracts like. If we go the movie route, “If you build it, they will come.” I created a community that I would want to belong to, and hoped more me’s would show up to hang out and roast some marshmallows. Luckily, it worked out!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> My personal experience with my own business and <span style="color: #ff0000;">Print Production Professionals</span> has been amazing. Recently our company needed print and fulfillment services in both London and New York. Can you explain how you were able to assist us?</h1>
<p>One of the greatest benefits to having 5000, or 28,000 colleagues down the hall is that someone out there can always help you. Pretty much daily people put posts up asking for help with vendor resources, supplies, and referrals. Some even put up specs and ask for quotes on print jobs. Business gets done in there, which is kind of cool.</p>
<p>When you asked me for referrals in 2 cities on 2 continents, I knew I had London covered, but in NY there are so many options and pricing can really vary so I didn’t feel comfortable recommending someone specific.  I simply suggested you ask the group and ‘viola you had several responses and options in a pretty short time.  I know you were happy with the vendor you chose to work with, and you made a new connection. Win, Win!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> So the buzz at the moment is about <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Documobi</span></em> (Intelligent Print Recognition). I learned about this new technology through a LinkedIn discussion within your group. The technology is amazing and has provided us with a new perspective on print. Our company was the first to utilize it and had some staggering responses. This would have been unachievable without your resources. <span style="color: #ff0000;">PrintMediaCentr</span> recently presented a very successful webinar an on Documobi – can you explain how you conducted the webinar and what kind of response you had from participants?</h1>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Yes, Digitalpress was the first to use Documobi on Planet Earth for a real projec</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">t</span></strong> – how cool is that!</p>
<p>The webinar was actually awesome. We had just about 500 people register, 272 showed up and stayed on for 63 minutes – not one person dropped off until the Q&amp;A, which only lasted another 6 minutes.</p>
<p>We worked with <a href="http://uk.linkedin.com/in/lancasterpeter" target="_blank">Peter Lancaster</a> over a few skype calls to hone his presentation for our audience. He is a BIG TIME industry speaker and used to speaking with a certain crowd. It was important to us that we brush past some of the more technical/ROI aspects of the APP and get right into what it is and how you use it from “the people” standpoint. That means, if I only wanted to see the cool stuff and let everyone else know that you can make cool stuff – all triggered from print – our audience would too. There was no sales pitch. No pricing information, just knowledge sharing. I think that is why it was so successful. We had even discussed the answer to what we thought for sure was going to be the most asked question during the Q&amp;A  &#8211; “How is Documobi different than a QR code” – and to our amazement, the number one question was – how much does it cost, followed by how can I get it. People were emailing us during the webinar for pricing info… and the inquiries are still coming in.</p>
<p>The replay we posted on YouTube has over 700 views, and if you don’t know what Documobi is grab a cup of coffee and watch below<br />

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> By being connected to so many members does it effectively mean you are always exposed to new technologies before anyone else?</h1>
<p>Not really, but it does usually mean people want to tell me about them. So in that sense, I probably find out sooner than I would if it happened organically. On the flip side, everyone and their mother sends me info on their products and services and press releases. My email inbox can get scary.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> You have become a bit of a print celebrity. At PODi AppForum I noticed many people whom you never met stopping you to chat. You are instantly familiar! I would say you probably have one of the most recognizable LinkedIn profile pictures in the world. What do they usually say to you?</h1>
<p>Usually they say &#8211; hey I know you, or you look really familiar, or waitress can I have some more coffee. Sometimes they tell me I look shorter in person than I do in the movies, but then I explain they have me confused with Whoopi Goldberg, who also happens to be an African-American. I sincerely doubt I have one of the most recognizable LinkedIn profile pictures in the world, but if we added the caveat as related to the print and marketing industry, I’m probably up there with some good people.</p>
<p>When it does happen, most of the time it is because they are in my group, or read my posts or have seen some of the more humorous YouTube video’s I have made and shared. To date, and for the record, no restraining orders have been filed. My people are nice!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> If I am correct in my understanding, Print Production Professionals started out initially to invite members who work as professional production managers. This obviously has changed and thankfully extended to printers and others working within the printing industry. Do you use your discretion and ensure only industry people are in the group?</h1>
<p>The method has evolved as the group and requests to join have grown, but yes, I do review pending members before I accept them. As well, if they are not connected directly to me, I do ask them to do that or provide me with an email address. On top of that, I keep all new members in a posting moderation queue for a certain amount of time. People who disguise their motives with a “normal” profile or job title – marketing for example &#8211; quickly reveal themselves as soon as they attempt to post spam and I not only remove them from the group but block them from requesting to come back. I also do not allow accounts under company names (which LinkedIn doesn’t allow either – they cheat the first name, last name fields) vs a person’s name to join since I assume they are only joining to promote their company. I do make judgment calls however. For example, I let a “company” from Ghana in the other day because even if their motivation were to promote themselves it wouldn’t cause a riot amongst the US printers who occupy most of that space. I also think it’s important to support emerging print markets and Ghana fits that bill.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ff0000;">Q.</span> Now here is the tough question Deb…. Let’s say I am a rep at a printing company and unashamedly want to promote my new 12 color press. Can I post a message on your group and tell everyone about it?</h1>
<p>Well you can certainly try… but one of 4 things will happen for sure: 1. Before I see it, another member will and flag it as an “inappropriate post” 2. I will see it and delete it. 3. I will see it, delete it and send you a message regarding the group’s posting protocol. 4. I will see it, delete it and then delete you if it’s an ongoing thing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m happy to say that I rarely have to remove people who post messages like that. They are excited to share news and know there are customers in the group and I get that. When I ask for their cooperation to follow the rules, 99% of the time there is no issue and they just didn’t read the rules posted on the discussion board, or are so used to being able to do that in other groups never even think twice about it. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>With over 29,000 members</strong></span> – yes, since I have started answering these questions 3 days ago I have more than 400 new members – if everyone posted promotions and solicitations about their company I wouldn’t have a group, I would have a really big and unmanageable list of posts no one really cared about instead of a community.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><em>I am glad to hear that, no doubt by keeping very tight controls your group remains credible, informative and never self serving. Congratulations Deb on behalf of the world’s printing community thank you, respect to you and keep the good work up. Thanks for your time and also for saving me from losing my hundred bucks on the poker machines!</em></p>

<p>As part of China’s 2012, year of the Dragon celebrations, Sydney based design agency<a href="http://www.toko.nu/" target="_blank"><strong> Toko</strong></a> was invited by the<strong> China International Design Competition</strong> Committee to judge the first ever annual design competition in Beijing last September. This competition, hosted by PoloArts, AIGA and Beijing Design Week in conjunction with the Capital Museum of China, aims to promote communications, exchange and interaction between China and the World.</p>
<p>Besides judging, <strong>Toko</strong>, as part of an international group of judges including renowned designers; Brian Collins (USA), Jianping He (Berlin/Beijing) and Kan Tai-Keung (Hong Kong), was invited to create an original design or artwork for the world-class ‘Chinese Dragon Exhibition’ which opens on 23 February 2012 at the Capital Museum of China.</p>
<p>To grasp the story of the Chinese Dragon and spark the imagination required to create the artwork,<strong> Toko</strong> participated in ‘Dragon’ specific tours, workshops and discussions, and whilst still in China quickly came to the realisation that creating an original Dragon piece would be a daunting task. The Chinese Zodiac, being an integral part of Chinese culture and society, both young and old, takes on mythical proportions, furthermore complicated by the accessibility of traditional and contemporary Dragon examples.</p>
<p><strong>Toko</strong> decided to capture the sheer scale, complexity and history of the Chinese Dragon in a book. A monumental but foremost conceptual interpretation of the Dragon. The book celebrates every Dragon year since it’s supposed origins in 2697 BCE, based on the most widely ‘tolerated’ myth.</p>
<p>The 4,716 page book carries the title ‘Long Story Made in China’. ‘Long’ as in the rich culture, cultivated over thousands of years, and ‘Long’ as in the Chinese word for Dragon (Long story / Dragon story). The book (edition 5) should be seen as a paper sculpture and is a tribute to Chinese culture by western interpretation.</p>
<p>To succeed in creating this mammoth project, <strong>Toko</strong> sought a collaborative print partner in<br />
us at Digitalpress. Lead by Theo and Stacy, our enthusiasm, passion and expertise made the project a physically possible reality from start to finish.</p>

<p><strong>Taschen</strong> is an <a title="Art" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art">art</a> book publisher founded in 1980 by <a title="Benedikt Taschen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedikt_Taschen">Benedikt Taschen</a> in <a title="Cologne" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne">Cologne</a>, <a title="Germany" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany">Germany</a>. Whilst in the US recently, Theo documented his visit to the world-renowned book masters, Taschen with outstanding highlights above. From a passion and love of books from design to architecture to autobiography, Theo visited the famous shopfront three times and bought numerous titles back to Australia with him. Below is the Taschen story&#8230;</p>
<p>It began as <em>Taschen Comics</em> publishing Benedikt&#8217;s extensive comic collection. Taschen has been a noteworthy force in making lesser-seen art available to mainstream bookstores, including some <a title="Sexual fetish" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_fetish">fetishistic</a> imagery, <a title="Queer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer">queer</a> <a title="Art" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art">art</a>, historical <a title="Erotica" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotica">erotica</a>, <a title="Pornography" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography">pornography</a> and adult magazines (including multiple books with <a title="Playboy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playboy"><em>Playboy</em></a> magazine). Taschen has helped bring this art into broader public view, by publishing these potentially controversial volumes alongside its more mainstream books of <a title="Comics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comics">comics</a> reprints, art <a title="Photography" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography">photography</a>, <a title="Painting" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painting">painting</a>, <a title="Design" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design">design</a>, <a title="Fashion" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion">fashion</a>, <a title="Advertising" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising">advertising</a> history, <a title="Film" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film">film</a>, and <a title="Architecture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture">architecture</a>.</p>
<p>Taschen&#8217;s publications are available in a variety of sizes, from large tomes detailing the complete works of <a title="Leonardo Da Vinci" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_Da_Vinci">Leonardo Da Vinci</a>, to surprisingly uncommon middle-sized books, to their &#8220;Icons&#8221; series of small, flexicover volumes which encapsulate themes of everything from old ads of <a title="Las Vegas Strip" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas_Strip">Las Vegas</a>, <a title="Nevada" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada">Nevada</a> to male nudes. The company has also produced <a title="Calendar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar">calendars</a>, address books, and postcards of popular subjects.</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s stated mission has been to publish innovative, beautifully designed art books at popular prices. The Icons series, for example, has several new volumes published a year, and retailing for about $10 are inexpensive for published collections of art. Another popular series is their &#8216;<a title="Taschen Basic Art" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taschen_Basic_Art">Basic Art</a>&#8216; series, which has around 50 volumes, each about a separate artist, ranging from artists such as <a title="Michelangelo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo">Michelangelo</a> to more contemporary artists such as <a title="Norman Rockwell" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Rockwell">Norman Rockwell</a>. They also publish a &#8216;<a title="Taschen Basic Architecture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taschen_Basic_Architecture">Basic Architecture</a>&#8216; series in the same style as &#8216;Basic Art&#8217; that covers some of the most prominent architects in history, such as <a title="Frank Lloyd Wright" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lloyd_Wright">Frank Lloyd Wright</a>.</p>
<p>Taschen has published one of the most expensive books in publishing history, the $15,000, 75 pound, 700 page <em>GOAT (Greatest of All Time)</em>, a tribute to the American boxer <a title="Muhammad Ali" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali">Muhammad Ali</a> which <a title="Der Spiegel" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Spiegel"><em>Der Spiegel</em></a> called &#8220;the biggest, heaviest, most radiant thing ever printed in the history of civilization.&#8221; They have also published the $15,000 <a title="Helmut Newton" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Newton">Helmut Newton</a> retrospective <em>Sumo</em> and a $4,000 limited edition <a title="Nobuyoshi Araki" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuyoshi_Araki"><em>Araki</em></a> volume.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gasaa.asn.au/latest/digitalpress-director-theo-pettaras-elected-as-the-new-gasaa-president" target="_blank"><strong>GASAA</strong></a> (The Graphic Arts Services Association of Australia) is a federally established registered business assocation formed in 1923. It provides services for companies within the graphic arts and design industry. It essentially bridges the gap between the creative and production services. Theo has been an active board member of GASAA&#8217;s executive committee for the past 6 years. During this time he has introduced the &#8216;Printovation&#8217; awards and assisted in raising the organisation&#8217;s profile.</p>
<p>Theo says &#8220;I am both honoured and humbled to be given this opportunity to represent GASAA as their new president. Our previous president David Leach was instrumental in so many ways including raising the organisation&#8217;s profie and having good dialogue with the Printing Industries of Australia (PIA), his are hard shoes to fill. I intend to continue David&#8217;s legacy and together with the board will reach out to both printing and creative communities to promote this very relevant and resourceful organisation. I am looking forward to highlighting the benefits that GASAA membership can offer. I am equally excited to be able to share my experience and knowledge over the past twenty years in both offset and digital printing will with others.&#8221;</p>

<p>From celebrities who recognise Ferragamo as a style icon; Lady Ga Ga to Hugh Jackman and from clothes to shoes to handbags and jewellery <a href="http://www.ferragamo.com" target="_blank">Salvatore Ferragamo</a> is the fashion master of the fashion world. We had the pleasure recently to be involved in printing an exclusive dinner invitation to celebrate the opening of the Salvatore Ferragamo Boutique in Melbourne, co-hosted by style gurus <a href="http://www.instylemag.com.au/" target="_blank">InStyle Magazine</a>. In what we think is one of most exclusive looking invitations, we collaborated with the team at InStyle including the design &amp; marketing departments to create an invite to truly showcase the colour, style and beauty of the Ferragamo brand. Working with a talented team meant we could collaborate a uniquely-finished-product, in this instance being a photograph of a colourfully wedged Ferragamo shoe.</p>
<p>Utilising our wide-format Roland LEC Machine, numerous testing was required to ensure we got the UV gloss level and thickness just right to create a 3d look on the wedge.</p>
<p>We printed the front of the invitation cmyk with a UV hi-gloss onto Splendorgel 340gsm and mounted to a 3mm black screenboard. The reverse side was simply printed in black to retain the simplicity of the overall piece.</p>

<p><strong>In recent months of student graduation and final year showings, we were asked by (our friends) the <a href="http://www.dab.uts.edu.au/" target="_blank">University of Technology**</a> (Design + Architecture Faculty) and graduates to print students final year project work for 2011. We&#8217;ve featured some already, and will endeavour to roll out furthermore student projects in 2012.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>The final for this year is the talented Thomas Fethers ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////</p>
<p>We are featuring for the final time this year in 2011 on our blog, the very talented fellow and UTS Graduate designer Thomas Fethers &#8211; we are extremely happy to congratulate Thomas on his High Distinction he received for both this, his final project and upon his graduation.</p>
<p>We printed collateral items for Thomas&#8217;En Masse; 2012 Calender, Posters and perfect bound book.</p>
<p><strong>Book</strong></p>
<p>Printed CMYK onto 270gsm Kendal Cover Buckram Snow White Uncoated. Inside pages printed CMYK throughout with Matt Fuser and french folded pages + Perfect bound onto 104gsm Mohawk Superfine Smooth White.</p>
<p><strong>Posters</strong></p>
<p>Printed CMYK one side with Matt Fuser and a Special Black onto 270gsm Mohawk Superfine Smooth White and trimed to a specific sizing.</p>
<p><strong>Calender</strong></p>
<p>Printed CMYK two sides with Matt Fuser and a Special Black onto 270gsm Mohawk Superfine Smooth White and trimmed to a specific sizing.</p>
<p><strong>Calender Casing/Sleeve</strong></p>
<p>Printed CMYK and profile cut to specific size, onto 300gsm Board.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Inspired by narcissistic Facebook and twitter worship, En Masse is a parody faith that claims Social Media is the new, modern day religion. With reference to the traditional design conventions of Christianity, Thomas designed a poster set that was inspired by the Ten Commandments, known as The Twelve Truths, which outlined the do’s and dont’s of the online.<a href="http://www.thomasfethers.com" target="_blank"> thomasfethers.com</a></p>

<p>With Christmas and the festive season fast approaching, we here at Digitalpress wanted to surprise our very special clients with a festive card which doubles as a desktop jotter, plus send them out in a red and white candy-stripe inspired envelope.</p>
<p>Designed by Sydney Design Studio <a href="http://www.naughtyfish.com.au/" target="_blank">Naughtyfish</a> the design reflects the graphic and colourful style which is fastly becoming recognised in the design world. Thanks Paul + team at Naughtyfish.</p>
<p>The card desktop jotter cover was printed CMYK + Blue and utilising our new Matt Fuser technique and printed onto K.W.Doggett&#8217;s Envirocare 250gsm. The internal pages remain blank, yet we wanted to keep the &#8216;candy-stripe&#8217; theme going, so we alternated between K.W.Doggett&#8217;s Envirocare 100gsm and Kaskad Rosella Red 100gsm. Each page is perforated, so you can easily tear a note out from the jotter.</p>
<p>The envelope was also printed CMYK + Red onto Envirocare, and our Dimensional clear varnish highlights the brilliant red candy stripes.</p>

<strong><br />
Pass It On is a commercial publication. Released quarterly, it showcases the very best talent across a range of creative disciplines, both locally and internationally.</strong></p>
<p>As you turn the pages, you’ll see that we‘re neither a magazine nor book. They consider themselves somewhere in between.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re about taking readers on a journey through the creative process, reflecting on what inspires each featured individual and how they arrive at their unique destination. Their hope is that they will, in turn, inspire others.</p>
<p>Pass It On refers to the sharing of creative knowledge and the influences we encounter in our pursuit of creative discovery whilst explaining how, culturally, ideas manifest and evolve.</p>
<p>The conceptual premise of Pass It On expresses the notion that inspiration, when documented, can be shared and stimulate an audience. The structure of Pass it On encourages the reader to further ‘pay it forward’ by sharing their inspiration and creative voice with others, thus producing an endless, reciprocal cycle of inspired creativity.</p>
<p>This publication serves as the catalyst for a larger online movement, one where creative profiling and content can reach a much broader audience. Their hope? That this encourages further creative cross-pollination. The answer? Simply, Pass It On.</p>
<p>Printed utilising our new NexPress machine with Matt fuser option, then perfect bound into a premium-looking piece.</p>
