Debossed
Having looking at the process of Debossing its something which I want to explore within my booklet, I've been wanting to become familiar with it as its something i think is very effective when applying it to business cards etc, for it gives that rich professional finish.
Laser Cutter
In order to get a more precise cut out I took my illustrator file to the laser cutter. Using MDF as is more efficient in strength when placing within the press.When approaching debossing you have to place stock within water in order to make the stock much weaker. This allows the press to create a mould within the stock. When coming to pressure you need to make sure its steady otherwise it could cause the MDF mould to tear through the stock. The only difficulty was aligning each cut out perfectly to the stock for I made error first time.
Foiling
Foiling and debossing work perfect together, capturing your eye easily through its shine to even interacting with its texture, I personally tend to approach work which has nice foiling having a stronger attraction, but this techniques may not benefit some work for its a more present finish to work.
The booklet I'm constructing would suit these 2 techniques for foiling will emphasise the richness of some of the stores I have within my booklet, then to deboss my work will introduce a more modern touch.
