Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Way back when OS9 was the oper­at­ing sys­tem of choice, I received a PaperRep disc at some sort of paper event. At the time I had recently grad­u­ated from col­lege with lit­tle knowl­edge of pro­duc­tion, so to me, it was the best thing ever — a disc that offered me any­thing I wanted to know about paper, print­ing and production.

Eventually I didn’t have as much of a use for it and moved on to big­ger and bet­ter oper­at­ing sys­tems, assum­ing the tool didn’t update with them. So I was thrilled the other day to see that PaperRep has finally been trans­lated into a web­site — and a clean, easy-to-use, and friendly one at that. Baltimore-based Drexler (who also has a pretty great new site them­selves) is the team behind the site, and they did an excel­lent job if you ask me.

It is an invalu­able tool for any­one look­ing to learn about pro­duc­tion — espe­cially stu­dents. It would have been amaz­ing to enter the pro­fes­sional world with all of this knowl­edge in my back pocket. So check it out for your­self right here.
