The Epilogue Degree Show catalogue

The brief for this project was to design the branding for the Reading School of Art Degree Show, which included an art catalogue and website. 
The brochure would be given to everyone attending the degree show and handed out to prospective students. It is something that will likely be kept long-term by the students and could be used as part of their professional portfolios. 
The client wanted the degree show to pay homage to the department over the years, since at the time, the art building was being torn down. Some key themes included; archival, retro, vintage and nostalgic. The degree show was to be called 'The Epilogue' to reflect the end of an era.

The client didn’t want each student to have their own double-page spread, nor to be grouped by media (paintings, sculptures, or drawings) and so the artwork is grouped by colour and mood. There were over 60 students creating over 170 pieces of art, so this was a huge undertaking!
To go alongside the art catalogue, a website was created to display the students' individual work. This was created on WordPress and allowed each student to have a page for their work.
