Earlier today I met with Andrew Cottam, Business development manager of Foilco, at Cafe 164 in Munro House.
As this was my first ever meeting with an industry professional, I was nervous about meeting him and making a good impression. Once there, I became less nervous as Andrew began sharing his perspectives with me and his passion for the company - this putting me at ease.
We discussed all things foil related and the company, as well as and his thoughts on the power of creative print in the industry - this detailing everything from the resurgence in print to his hopes for the future of foilco and the print industry as a whole.
To see all the foil samples in the D4 selection was awe-inspiring. For a while now I have had a fascination and love for foil, more so than ever now following my meeting with Andrew. I was completely unaware of just how many shades and grades of foil were available, and the effects that can be created via the stamping process.
Andrew also kindly gave me a Foilco notebook, featuring a bright vibrantly-foiled cover.
Following this, I am excited to re-listen to the recording of the interview and put the discussion in to words for my creative report.
