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)

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

Central St Martins - Degree Show 2014

Yesterday evening I was invited to the private view of the Central St Martins Degree Shows at their (nearly new) Kings Cross home. It was a beautiful evening and the show was well attended, laid out on the ground, first and second floors.


The two departments where I spent most time were the BA Graphic Design and the MA Communication Design.

It was a very busy show with lots of thought-provoking work on display. Interesting (for me) to see just how many final projects still involve paper and printing.

 

Here was one particularly colourful project titled 'The Jungle Book' by Kat Garner which not only involved paper but also clear coloured transparent film and Perspex. www.katgarner.co.uk

Thanks to all the tutors and people I know at CSM for the kind invitation and a chance to see the work of the new graduates.
