CSM Show Signage

Many of you may have visited the Central St Martins graduate shows at Granary Square but how many of you noticed the brightly coloured wayfinding...?
The signage and the map is all printed on our Colorset 100% Recycled range. The signing is all printed on our Colorset Deep Orange and Indigo 270gsm and the Riso printed map is printed on Deep Orange 120gsm
Design is by Thomas Black, Fred Cochran, Benjamin Khan, Irene Liakhovenko, Dolores Swann and  Kim Trainor, all final year BA Graphic Communication Design students. Thanks to lecturer Martin McGrath for sending me the images.

Riso printing is in house at CSM and the large format printing is by Displayways.

Central St Martins - Degree Show 2017

On Tuesday evening I was invited to the private view of the Central St Martins Degree Shows at King's Cross. It was a very hot London evening and given the current security situation in the country, there was security and bag checking, so it took me half an hour in the queue to get in, but that's entirely understandable.
The show was exceptionally well attended, laid out on the ground, first and second floors and including the large atrium area.
I spent most of the time at the BA Graphic Design course on the second floor.
Even though there had been a log queue outside, there was an equally long queue for the Camden Town Brewery stand, who was one of the sponsors as well as that other "Hull based" paper company!
As always, the work is well displayed and laid out - but then they are lucky to have one of the best exhibition spaces in the country and their disposal!
Thanks to all staff and people I know at CSM for the kind invitation and a chance to see the work of the new graduates.

CSM Show Directory

This is a student directory that provides an index of students exhibiting at the 2014 BA (Hons) Graphic Design Degree Show. Not only does it list all the students but there is also a map and a pocket on the inside back cover to collect business cards.
For interest, I posted about the show here:
The whole package is held together with a blue rubber band and they thoughtfully provided a pencil! Size of the publication is 148mm square. It has a 4pp cover from Colorset 270gsm and a 16pp text on StarFine White 115gsm.
Printed offset litho in just one colour (black) - a lovely feature is the use of black wire on the stitches. A lovely detail.
The pocket on the inside back cover includes a map which has been riso printed (unfortunately I don't have any further details on that)
6pp concertina map - Riso printed
The course leader is Alan Baines. The print team that produced the publication (all graduating students) are Brian Lo, Isabelle Mattern, Katharina Gilbert and they had help and guidance from Martin McGrath, who's an Associate Lecturer in Design & Interaction.

Printing is by Ripping Image based in London SE1
