OUGD504 Design Production. What is design for print?

Design for Print
Within our summer project groups we had to debate a question of 'what is design for prints'
Below are our answers:
-You have to consider the printing process before designing
-Consideration of format and layout
-Easiest way to mass produce your design
-Examples: Books, posters, magazines, leaflets, postcards, stationary, billboards, packaging etc.
- A design that intends to be physical communicating image and text to a medium, in a physical format in the process of printing
-Designing for print you will have a finished product that someone can hold in their hand.
Cant really define just what design for print is in one sentence as there is so many extensions and questions you could ask to justify or back up what you are saying.
