Print Control – The Best Of Polish Print Design

We at Design & Paper just love to look for hot new print and paper designs online on behance, Pinterest and many other platforms. Our latest discovery is Print Control, an ever-growing platform for listing and promoting the best printed matter from Poland. Each year the platform publishes a book showcasing the current view on Polish print design. The second edition, Print Control N°2, will be presented to tomorrow at Print Control Week.

printcontrol.pl is a very popular bilingual (Polish and English) online platform showcasing the best designs printed in Poland. It is a great place to share and promote good design, outstanding graphics as well as interesting typographical and technical solutions appearing in print publications. Each post is devoted to a specific publication, showing all its facets as well as linking it to the design studio standing behind the project. Moreover, readers can find events related to graphic design and places where you can buy remarkable books, catalogs and more.printcontrol.screenshot

As a result of running the online platform, Print Control decided to  launch an eponymous annual book publication. This year marks the second edition of Print Control (N°2), published in cooperation with txt publishing and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. The book features over 100 leading examples of Polish graphic design, selected by curator Magdalena Heliasz – each accompanied by technical specifications. The second part of the book is devoted to interviews with Polish designers and publishers such as Edgar Bąk, Ryszard Bienert, Jakub Jezierski, Jakub Banasiak and others.5306__440x440_pc2
