We know that behind every Degree Show Catalogue is a group of creative, innovative students keen to showcase their work in a unique and professional way. With the aim of each publication to attract the attention of potential employers, Ex Why Zed has earned a reputation for printing boundary pushing books that challenge convention and are eye catching to the audience. Our experience and knowledge of BA and MA Degree Show Catalogue printing means we can help and advise you to pick the right stock, finishes and format to match your inspiration.
There are almost infinite possibilities on size, finishing and papers so we offer expert knowledge and advice before your job goes to press, a competitive degree show catalogue print quote to stretch your budget and a high quality standard of printing delivered nationally. If you’re not sure about papers, ask us for a sample pack to help you narrow down your choices.
Your final catalogue will be seen by your family, friends and the entire design industry…no pressure then! With that weight of expectation, let’s make it visually brilliant.
• Allocate one double page spread per student: Left hand page for your contact details, a photo and some words about your favourite font. Right hand page for an example of your best work.
Creativity doesn’t start at 9am and switch off at 5pm so email us your spec or order 24/7 and we’ll come back to you with a speedy quote. Alternatively simply fill in our online quote form which contains everything we need to know to provide an accurate price.
Not everyone is a print guru. Our experience has taught us that nearly everyone could do with some advice and direction in preparing their artwork into a print ready format.
The file preparation overview provides extensive help on general artwork set up. Once you have that mastered, move on to the wire stitching and perfect binding guides which will save you time and act as a valuable resource when setting up the catalogue file.
The step by step artwork guides delve deeper into best practice:
How near to the edge can I go?
What is bleed and how do I make it?
How thick should I make my spine?
“One tutor said it was intelligent and a benchmark for future catalogue design and they all said it was the best catalogue they had seen from St Martins.”
