So, after finally deciding on the writings that i want to give out (two different sets) and the size (A5), i have had continual problems with the paper. Constantly the gsm that i was asking for them to be printed on was too little, and so i had to go with a normal gsm paper. However, after printing some test pieces on white, it really just didn;t look right. The white was too garish and the type of writing just didn't sit well on this. My booklets look great on the off white/ slightly cream colour, so i have ended up using a similar colour to these. It ties the two pieces of writing together anyway. I went for a slightly lower gsm for these A5 writings, as i don't want the thickness of the paper to dictate some sort of preciousness to the writings. Rather, I want them to be something you can take away, and forgetfully store in your pocket.
