One cannot stress the importance of haptics enough. The latest issue of novum proves that once again. Thanks to »Wild« by Römerturm (made with 35% cotton) the magazine feels substantial and smooth at the same time. Indented marking as well as a shimmering hot foil adds subtle highlights to the cover. Haptics, papers and printfinishing techniques are also the topic of this month's novum+ section called »creative paper«. Here you can find a wide variety of great designs made from or with paper, ranging from 3D-Illustrations and CIs to trade fair stands, books, packagings and installations. The cover design was done by Langesommer.
