Fedrigoni_Background Information
Background Fedrigoni has been part of the paper world since 1717, when the San Colombanu paper mill was set up in Italy. Over the years, Fedrigoni have consistently been at the forefront of the paper industry, pioneering the techniques and processes that makes paper the beautiful, versatile medium it is. Fedrigoni has been refining refining the art and science of making fine-quality special papers, producing striking surfaces, tactile textures and vivid colours. All papers that can be pressed, bent, cut and folded into almost any form you can imagine. Fedrigoni papers are ultra-functional and at the same time wonderfully expressive.

Fedrigoni_Design Direction
Publication For the publications within the information pack I will use a mixture of paper craft and pop up elements to make the publication interactive. This idea should work well with the content as its all about stock and you want to get close and feel it. The pop ups and paper crafts will demonstrate what that range of papers is suitable for.

Paper Craft & Pop up Some ideas that I have found within my research, which i can take forward and develop to fit within the publications I am going to produce. I particularly like the cut outs through all pages so every stock page can be seen.
Information Pack For the information pack, I want to create packaging that will hold the publications, but also be very durable as it has to get through the post un-damaged. The packaging must also carry the design style to make everything consistent, it is the first thing the audience will see.

Fedrigoni_Visual Research
Case Studies I have researched into Fedrigoni Case Studies, these are projects which Fedrigoni have been involved in to provide the papers for the outcomes. This gave me a good insight into what sort of design work the papers are used for.

Paper Craft & Pop up After deciding on going down the route of using paper craft and pop up elements, I researched into this subject to get a better understanding and see how it was actually applied within different contexts.
Further Research - Web Design - App Design - Packaging Design - Mechanism of pop ups

Fedrigoni_Concept & Final idea
Concept & Proposal I will create a campaign which will inform printers across the UK about the range of Fedrigoni papers available. This will consist of a information pack, which is solely based on paper craft and user interactivity and website & app which will let the printer access all papers available, to view and find out the specifications of them. The design will be consistent across the two platforms.
YCN Competition
Aims & Outcomes I will produce an information pack that will consist of 5/6 publications of the most useful papers for printers. These publications will use paper craft and pop up elements to bring the papers alive and show the use and adaptability of them. The website and app will be a online resource for any printer / designer to access all the fedrigoni papers available and see the range, use and specification of each one.
Key Facts - Publication to show use and adaptability of stock - Paper craft & Pop up - Bright stock / variety of stock - Design to run across to web & app - Main idea being that it is interactive for the user
