The proof arrived yesterday for the leaflet I have been designing for the MLitt Curatorial
Practice (Contemporary Art) Degree Show at the Glasgow School of Art. The leaflet is A3 with the exhibition, reading room and events details on one side and the individual curatorial projects by eight graduating students on the other. The image is a still from Holylands by Seamus Harahan, presented as part of Both Together, curated by Eilidh Ratcliffe, one of the students.
The leaflet is folded to A5 with half of the image appearing on one side and 'MLitt Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) Graduate Degree Show 3-8 September 2016' on the other. I think it should make quite an interesting and attractive package and I look forward to seeing the two sides of the leaflet displayed alongside each other.
The design builds on an identity that I have been developing for the course that previously appeared in print in an advertisement in Art Monthly and also on material generated from the course. The typeface used throughout is Univers, in various weights, styles and sizes to create a hierarchy of information.
Having considered various paper options, the leaflet will be printed on 140gsm Cocoon Offset 100% recycled paper; a tactile paper that feels substantial but without feeling too precious.
The MLitt Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) Degree Show runs from 3-8 September at Glasgow School of Art, The Tontine Building, 20 Trongate, Glasgow G1 5NA. Further information can be found here.
