Submit your files early and we’ll deliver early!
Budget
We understand your final research project will be seen by your family, friends and the entire architecture industry…no pressure there then! With that weight of expectation, let’s make it visually brilliant.
Here are our top tips for creating a stunning degree show catalogue to get your work noticed and help you land that dream job:
• Architectural line drawings can become very faint when they are scaled down to book size. We advise keeping any line weights to 0.25pt or more so they are visible when read.
• There are literally hundreds of options for paper. Check out the ranges from GFSmith and Fedrigoni for something a bit different that will leave a mark and get your course remembered. If your budget and time allows then why not mix a couple of different stocks to accent certain sections of the book?
• Premium cover finishes also add a distinctive quality to any book – choose from spot varnishing, silver gold or coloured foliing and embossing. All will create a striking appearance.
