Print Design Aid and Inspiration

Most graphic designers begin their careers with little or no training in the possibilities of paper folding. And yet, an unusual fold can make a print project a standout success.
Remedy any holes in your education with the foldfactory’s Fold Picker, a 72-page booklet that resembles a Pantone fanbook. On one side of each page are folding options suitable for low to moderate budgets. Turn the book over to see folding options for big budgets. And because folding is often as much about movement as it is static paper, you can also see all 60 of the folds in action in videos. The frugal folds are here; fabulous fold videos are here.
The Fold Picker is normally $29.99, but until June 15, 2011, you can get $5 off. Just go to the foldfactory online shop and use the coupon code FFPIK11 at checkout to receive the discount.

Even if you don’t buy the Fold Picker, you should check out foldfactory’s free “60-Second Super Cool Fold of the Week” videos. They’re a great source of inspiration and ideas. The most recent installment is below.
