SMC Design and Ex Why Zed conjure a masterpiece of art catalogue printing.
‘Spirit of Adventure’, a coffee table art catalogue designed by SMC Design, encapsulates the true essence of artistic expression, perfectly printed by Ex Why Zed. Meticulously crafted, this catalogue has been pivotal in elevating the appreciation of onboard artwork collections on Saga’s new boutique cruise ship.
The ‘Spirit of Adventure’ art catalogue features the stunning artistry that adorns the new boutique cruise ship by Saga. SMC Design, a leading name in interior and graphic design for the maritime industry, conceived this innovative art catalogue. They used their expertise to transform their digital vision into a tangible book that brings the ship’s artwork collection to life.
For the print, a unique blend of luxury and innovation was used. The A4 case-bound books feature a cover wrapped in GF Smith’s 135gsm Colorplan New Blue paper over a greyboard case. This elegant material, renowned for its high quality, evokes a sense of exclusivity and a bond with the sea. Additionally, the interior comprises 114 pages printed onto 170gsm silk, enabling each artwork to shine in vibrant detail.
As specialist printers, Ex Why Zed was tasked with bringing SMC Design’s vision to life. Utilizing their HP Indigo press, Ex Why Zed produced a stunning final product. The rich, tactile quality of the GF Smith Colorplan paper gave the cover a remarkable finish, further enriching the overall experience of the catalogue.
The catalogue included 2x 4pp unprinted end papers onto 170gsm uncoated stock, and a four-colour print throughout. Each page was expertly trimmed, collated, and case bound, ensuring the catalogue’s durability and longevity.
The ‘Spirit of Adventure’ catalogue serves as a testament to the power of collaboration, precision, and respect for the artistic process. The project reinforces Ex Why Zed’s ability to deliver high-quality artist catalogue printing that bridges the gap between design and print.
