We are!
Why were we at the printing store?
WELL I'LL TELL YOU!
You see, putting the most riveting content on your magazine sometimes isn't enough. You have allow the reader's experience to come full circle. From words, designs, pictures, to even it's touch.
That's why Team Salt & Pepper ventured to the streets of Bugis.
Soon, we found ourselves on the second floor of Bras Basah complex, standing across a store named 'Unsual Printing'. Perfect.
The lady in the store offered us samples of paper to feel. And I'll be honest, I was more intimate with papers in those 10 minutes than anyone I've ever been with anyone in my entire life.
Above are pictures of Shahren and Phoebe springing into action. After deciding on which papers we felt most suitable for our magazine, we took out over very own piece of paper to jot it all down.
Cover Page - Grandeur Zen White 300gsm
Body of magazine - Meridien Silk 150gsm
Cost of printing 1 magazine - $42
Cost of acing this project - priceless
After feeling satisfied with what we saw at that store, we got hungry. Hungry for the best deals of printing a magazine that is!
So we travelled to Sunshine Plaza's Colour Vizio. Though there were different kinds of paper to feel there, we were simply not 'feeling it' and decided to head next door, also a printing store (forgot the name) which offered similar papers with glue binding for a reasonable price of $23!
But after all the adventure we came to a consensus that we would print from Unusual Printing.
Hope it turns out great.
