We are often fed this idea that print will soon be fully overtaken by digital media. That with the internet, no one will ever have need for a book or magazine. However I like this quote and think it sums things up nicely...
"The sensory experience that print affords — the feel of different paper stocks, glossy photos, beautiful layout, design — simply cannot be replicated digitally."
At Juicy we love sexy papers and clever print.

BBC have reported that, "Green campaigners have spent the day collecting freesheet newspapers discarded on the Tube to highlight the issue of recycling.
Volunteers from Project Freesheet collected 1,500 copies of the Metro, thelondonpaper and London Lite left by London Underground passengers.
They displayed their mountain of papers in Trafalgar Square before sending them off for recycling.
Most copies are mixed with street litter and so are not recycled.
Newspaper hypocrisy
Project Freesheet organiser Justin Canning said: "People are under the misconception that leaving the paper on the Tube is contributing to recycling.
"Today was about getting out there and talking with people and letting them know that these papers end up in landfill."
He added: "There appears to be a lot of hypocrisy by these newspapers which tout their own green agenda in their news pages, but do not follow that through with actions when it comes to the problems they're creating."...."
We think something needs to be done in Manchester too. Here's our challenge...and it's pretty simple...Why not take your Metro/Manchester Evening News/etc with you to the office or home and make sure it's recycled. There you go. Nice and easy.
Check out the new Pantone website. Lovely, simple but effective use of flash on the homepage and they've added some lovely colours to boot as well. Have a look around their site, because if you get half as excited about colour as we do - you'll be as happy as Johnny Vegas in a pie shop
