Responsive: Design Process 2 - Embossing



We did a bit of embossing using a test piece of plastic. We really liked how the raster created a grain texture on the the paper. The engraved line showed up on the embossing very clearly on this sample. 

We decided that we could try our inner line as a emboss instead of printed.

I created our packaging branding into a jpeg ready to cut on the laser machine.

The cut outs:

I cut out a few different types, changing the weight of font, some with deeper etching and others reversing the space to emboss.

The embossing attempts:

The type didn't show very well at all due it's still thin nature but it still provided a good outer shape and grain texture. Due to the lack of time we went with what we had.
