A love of the printed page

On behalf of all designers, I'd like to make a confession:
We still love paper.

From my quarterly subscription to Issues Magazine Shop to drooling over Standards Manual's publications to my sample paper pack from Spicers Canada, I still can't get enough of it.

Press checks are no different. There is still a thrill of opening up a set of hard proofs and seeing your work jump from the screen into real life (coupled with a small panic that you are going to find an error at this late stage). 😳

Of course there are many aspects of our business lives where we can, and should, go paperless. But then again there are some that I hope will live on.
