The Anatomy of the Book

Catalog description

This class conceives and produces the senior catalog. The workshop nature of the class stresses collaboration and experimentation. Lectures include topics such as making type beautiful, process as place, being a visual scavenger. In addition to exploring the creative process, workshops in Indesign, type design, photo editing, and pagination will be taught throughout the semester. Students will learn the craft and execute a handmade book. After the design of the catalog is completed, students will begin the production process: choosing paper, constructing digital files, coordinating with a printer, and working out printing budgets.
