DISPLAY Challenges Printed Production Piece Questions? Please contact William Mikolanz at: Email: [email protected] Phone: 920-498-5570 BUSINESS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Student capacity: 60 Students will present/display a production style printed piece in either one or multi-color schemes. Acceptable substrates can include paper, synthetic or fabric. Print method used must consist of one of the 5 major publishing methods; offset, gravure, flexographic, screen or digital*. *If a digital printed piece is submitted, documentation of the device must also accompany the printed piece to provide evidence of a digital press as opposed to a simple laser output. Digital prints can also include inkjet technology as long as the device meets industry standards for print production and has the ability to run a size 24” or larger. Each project submitted must contain a detailed explanation of the piece, and the process used to create it as well as the intended purpose of the piece itself. The written component should be one to two paragraphs long and serve as a way for students to “sell” their work to the judges. Judging will be based on quality, difficulty level, creativity, and the student’s written presentation explaining the piece and the process followed. 19
