The Kent School of Architecture has always been a beacon of creativity and innovation. The 2016 Degree Show Catalogue was no exception, showcasing the exceptional talent of the students and the high standards of the institution. This case study delves into the creation of the catalogue, highlighting the meticulous process of catalogue printing for university shows and the remarkable final product.
The Kent School of Architecture’s 2016 Degree Show was a culmination of years of hard work, creativity, and dedication. The show presented an opportunity for the students to display their architectural prowess and for the school to demonstrate its commitment to fostering innovative design. The Degree Show Catalogue was an integral part of this showcase, serving as a tangible record of the students’ achievements and the school’s pedagogical success.
The creation of the catalogue was a meticulous process, involving careful planning, innovative design, and high-quality printing. The catalogue was designed to work as individual sections displayed adjacent to the exhibited work but could also be collated into one piece. This innovative approach allowed for a versatile use of the catalogue, enhancing the overall experience of the exhibition.
The catalogue was printed by Ex Why Zed, a leading company in degree show printing. The company’s commitment to quality and attention to detail ensured that the catalogue was not only visually stunning but also durable and professionally finished.
Slightly smaller than an A4 catalogue, the Kent book catalogue was printed as 250x195mm books, with a 4pp cover onto 350gsm Silk. The cover was treated with Matt Lamination to give it a smooth, high-quality finish. The 260pp text was printed onto 120gsm Uncoated paper, ensuring clarity and readability. The catalogue was printed in four colours throughout, creating a vibrant and engaging visual experience. Finally, the catalogue was trimmed, collated, and perfect bound, resulting in a professional and polished final product.
The final catalogue was a testament to the talent of the students and the quality of education at the Kent School of Architecture. The catalogue was well-received, with praise for its innovative design and high-quality printing. The success of the catalogue further solidified Ex Why Zed’s reputation as a leading provider of print on GF Smith papers.
