(Preface) ‘In today’s high-tech, virtual world where things exist, but then again, they don’t, people are irresistibly drawn to “touch-friendly” designs. It’s little wonder that graphic pieces incorporating unusual materials get noticed and elicit investigation. These dynamic designs build image like no others.

Tactile graphics fascinate consumers because they recognise that unique materials can be difficult to engineer and incorporate, and thus tactile design nearly always becomes coveted and collectible. Moreover, the designer who can ignite a consumer to interact with a product, whether it’s a brochure or a package, increases the chance of making a memorable connection and, even better yet, a sale.

This book features intriguing projects from around the globe that utilise a wide range of surprisingly printable materials, including razor-thin metal business cards; X-ray film; heat-sensitive inks; ceramic tiles; and carpet samples. In short, the design solutions in this book use any and all resources “at hand.”
