As graphic design becomes increasingly digitized, more designers and clients are attracted to work that incorporates an element of the handmade, this title explores the fascination designers have with the handmade, an increasingly popular area of design. The creative possibilities of typography, image-making, printing and binding are explored and the volume features some rarely-seen examples of stunning work from around the world, including: hand-bound artists' books; brochures using handmade paper; and hand-folded and boxed magazines. It also investigates the practical details of available technologies and working with limited budgets for small output.

A great book that gives an overall history on how the graphics started and how it has developed the way it has using the computer. Great reference book for my dissertation!
