CSM Short Courses Literature

This is the printed literature produced to promote the Central St Martins short courses. These courses provide a way for students from all backgrounds to experience the Central Saint Martins style of study, which encourages pushing boundaries and challenging accepted norms. The courses are either in evenings, intensive holiday courses or online.

The publications consist of three items, a broadsheet, an A3 poster and A6 size cards.

The 12pp broadsheet is 594x630mm, folding to A4 size. It has the image one side and the listings on the reverse.

It is printed on our StarFine White 130gsm which is an uncoated paper with a good bulk and prints beautifully - as you can see from the image that is used there is a dense area of black on the bottom right hand side which looks good and solid, a nice dense black. The cards are printed on StarFine White, 300gsm.

Design is by Atelier Dreibholz. Paulus Dreibholz operates between his studios in London and Vienna working with clients throughout Europe, whilst also lecturing at University of Applied Arts in Vienna amongst others.

Print is by Principal Colour based in Paddock Wood in Kent.

ISTD Awards 2009

I was lucky enough to go to the ISTD awards last Friday and it was a great evening. It was held at the Arts Club in London's Mayfair. As with all ISTD events, there is a real air of friendliness and fellowship, whether this is because there is always an international element, I don't know. I was seated at a table with people from Holland (http://www.studiovanson.com/) who were a great laugh.

The series of three posters below is the ISTD Awards 2009 Overall Winner by Paris based, Studio Apeloig (www.apeloig.com)

All award winners deserve congratulations, but in particular, there are some people who I must mention:

Cartlidge Levene for the wayfinding & environmental graphics for The Guardian building - (I know it's not on paper, but it's still fantastic work!) http://www.cartlidgelevene.co.uk/

Barrie Tullett and Philippa Wood who are lecturers at University of Lincoln and who run The Caseroom Press for The Ghost in the Fog (pictured left).

This is a book that only contains the corrections and alterations of the author.

Congratulations on their Premier award (by the way, it's printed on our Offenbach Bible 60gsm)

...and a prize for anyone who can guess which dark horse from the NB:Studio table this is (answers on a nice postcard please!)
It was an excellent evening which showed a fantastic array of international typographic excellence. It is REALLY important for our industry that we retain societies such as the ISTD and we must take every opportunity to try and encourage membership, thus ensuring their continued viability.

So if you aren't a member, have a look http://www.istd.org.uk/ - for less than £10 per month - this is good value!
