  Often it is the small details that make a piece shine - similar to the way that unique buttons on a white shirt can give it an entirely new look. This book explores 1,000 of the embellishments available to graphic designers across all kinds of projects, from books to brochures, invitations to menus, CDs to annual reports. Exacting photography focuses in detail on the different options, and the reader is invited literally to shop for ideas. Content is organized by type of embellishment, ie: a designer searching for an unusual binding would find a wide collection of fresh ideas in the binding section. Other topics covered include fasteners, graphics, unique materials, embossing, debossing, speciality inks, type treatments, interesting colour usage, add-ons, die-cuts and much more.
