OUGD504 G.F.SMITH visit

Yesterday Matt from G.F.Smith did a presentation about what
G.F. Smith offers as a paper merchant he showed us
the ranges of colours, gsm, and even how paper was
made - one paper is even made out of beer! (Gmund Bier)

At the end of the presentation we were able to look at some
samples of paper and publications which has been printed
on their paper. I have recently ordered some paper from G.F
smith through my work to experiment with on brief 3!

G.F Smith has a selection of specialist papers along side a the
colour plan which is a sea of colours. The specialist papers range
in textures, surfaces, sheens etc. e.g Softy - this paper is like a
felt. Another example would be be Gmund action these have
glitter mixed into the pulp. They also offer a book making service
which would be ideal for a portfolio although expensive it has a
fine finish. G.F.Smith also offers a packaging service this allows
you to mock up up some packaging on a sample of their paper.
