14th November 2024 – PTPGE v. 2.0 Update is Live
Hello,
Global Print & Graphic Design Industry!
A Visual and Interactive Taxonomy of How Elements are Connected
Understanding and navigating the complexities of the print and graphic design industry has never been simpler. With our latest AI-optimized PTPGE update, we provide clarity, structure, and accessibility, bringing order to every element in this dynamic landscape.
Where the Print Industry’s Manufacturing Process meets the End-Users’ Ordering Process, PTPGE bridges the gap, offering insights and solutions for both sides.
Major Update of the Periodic Table of Print & Graphic Elements
We are excited to introduce v. 2.0, a significant update to PTPGE.
Improved Structure and Use of Colors
A new structure with improved color schemes has been introduced to enhance clarity and make it easier to understand the relationships between elements. The periodic table is organized with horizontal groups that represent the entire manufacturing process, from start to finish, and vertical categories with layers as subcategories, offering a deeper understanding of each stage. This organization allows users to navigate the platform with greater ease and precision, while also providing a clearer view of how each element connects within the broader system.
Expanded and Enhanced Content
We’ve expanded content across the platform to provide even more valuable insights and tools for print and graphic professionals. The elements are now organized into categories and subcategories, offering multiple layers of detail to enhance understanding. Each element is assigned a unique identifier and prepared for use with a dynamic database, ensuring the platform remains adaptable and up-to-date, providing users with the most current information and tools as the industry evolves.
A Better Explanation of Elements
We created a new and improved design and structure for each element within PTPGE to enhance understanding and usability. Each element is organized with clear, identifiable components, including an element symbol, name, group, category, and subcategories with levels, along with unique identifiers and additional information. This approach allows users to navigate and explore each element in detail, ensuring every component is easily accessible, fully contextualized, and aligned with industry standards for a comprehensive and intuitive experience.
Introducing the Two-Sided Lens View
Our two-sided lens view (Print Industry vs. End-User) offers a richer, dual perspective—providing both industry professionals and end-users with clearer insights into the elements driving the print and graphic world. On one side, you’ll see the manufacturing process, while the other side showcases products available during the ordering process. Remember, PTPGE Cards are not static; they continuously evolve, reflecting the latest advancements and offering a dynamic snapshot of the industry’s ongoing innovation.
A Clear Perspective on How Elements Meet Products
PTPGE captures the lifecycle of print and graphic components from concept to completion. It demonstrates how individual elements within the manufacturing process align to produce final products, creating a cohesive view that connects technical precision with consumer-ready solutions in the ordering process.
