Pulp Friction
Have you leafed through design magazines such as HOW, ID or Graphic Design USA lately? Within these rags are pages of varying weights ranging from textured card stock to high-gloss metallic paper. I consider them the papyral (is that a word?) equivalent of pop-up ads. They make it impossible to get to the “meat” of the magazine. As you flip through pages, you end up staring at the latest specialty paper touted by XYZ Paper Company. Like pop-up ads, they’re a necessary evil that pays the bills.
