When it comes to the intersection of fashion and art, few names stand out as prominently as Paul Smith. Known for his creative and innovative designs, Paul Smith has made a significant impact on the world of fashion. But his creativity doesn’t stop at clothing – it extends into the realm of home decor as well. This is beautifully demonstrated in the Paul Smith Home Decor hardback book, a project that Ex Why Zed had the privilege of bringing to life.
A Fashion Art Book Printing Masterpiece
The Paul Smith Home Decor hardback book is a testament to the power of high-quality printing. The book was printed in a 210x250mm landscape format, with the cover printed onto 170gsm Silk and finished with Matt Lamination to the outer. The endpapers were printed onto GF Smith Colorplan Candy Pink, adding a pop of color to the book. A Gloss Spot Varnish was applied to the outer, giving the book a luxurious feel. The text was printed onto 170gsm Silk, with four-color print throughout. The book was then trimmed, collated, and case bound, resulting in a stunning finished product.
Linking Art and Fashion
This project showcases the potential of artist catalogue printing and self-published book printing. It demonstrates how these printing methods can be used to create a product that is not only visually appealing but also serves as a tangible representation of an artist’s vision.
The Paul Smith Home Decor hardback book is just one example of the incredible projects that Ex Why Zed has had the opportunity to work on. Other case studies, such as the Season Annual, Massimo Rumi Hard Back Photo Book, and Spirit of Adventure Art Catalogue, offer further examples of the potential of high-quality printing.
The Paul Smith Home Decor hardback book is a testament to the power of high-quality printing and the potential of combining art and fashion. It serves as a shining example of what can be achieved with the right tools and a creative vision. Whether you’re an artist looking to showcase your work or a fashion enthusiast seeking to bring your designs to life, Ex Why Zed offers the tools and expertise you need to make your vision a reality.
