A Case Study on UAL Central St Martins MA Photography 2018

The UAL Central St Martins MA Photography 2018 was a remarkable event that showcased the creative prowess of the students. The degree show was a culmination of their hard work, dedication, and unique perspectives, all of which were encapsulated in their stunning photography. This case study delves into the details of the show and the role of Ex Why Zed Print in bringing the students’ work to life through high-quality print.

The Course and The Show

The MA Contemporary Photography; Practices and Philosophies course at Central Saint Martins allows students to locate their own practice within the varied field of photography. It is not committed to one notion of what photography is. Instead, it aims to provide students with the tools to locate their own practice within a broad range of contemporary art forms. The course integrates theory and practice, and students explore the philosophy of the visual image as a melting pot of political, aesthetic, and social concepts.

The degree show was a testament to the course’s philosophy, with each student showcasing their unique interpretation of contemporary photography. The show was a vibrant display of creativity, with each photograph telling a unique story, capturing the viewer’s attention, and invoking a range of emotions.

The Role of Ex Why Zed Print

Ex Why Zed Print was delighted to be invited by Central St Martins to print another catalogue for their shows having first tarted the collaboration in 2009. We played a crucial role with helping the designers prepare print ready artwork and make choice about size, finish and binding method. The catalogue was a reflection of the show itself – a collection of unique perspectives bound together by a common thread. The degree show catalogue printing was done with utmost precision and attention to detail, ensuring that each photograph was reproduced with high fidelity.

The Catalogue Specifications

The catalogue was an A5 book, with a 4pp cover printed onto 300gsm Uncoated with Matt Lamination to the outer. The 44pp text was printed onto 120gsm Uncoated, with four colour print throughout. The catalogue was trimmed, collated, and perfect bound, resulting in a neat and professional finish.

The Impact

The catalogue was more than just a collection of photographs – it was a testament to the students’ journey through the course. It was a tangible representation of their growth, their exploration of contemporary photography, and their unique interpretations of the world around them. The catalogue was well-received by the attendees of the show, and it served as a perfect memento of the event.

Ex Why Zed makes self publishing a truly pleasurable experience!
Brilliant communication from start to finish. Mike had endless patience for the many questions we asked. The guides provided were easy to follow and super helpful (the video guides are a must watch too). Our order of hardback illustrated children's books was delivered expertly packaged and on time. As for the finished product itself - stunning - a real joy to finally hold, beautifully made and perfectly printed! We couldn't have asked for more. Well, we did - we instantly placed an order for paperback children's colouring books too, which we are equally as happy with. Look forward to working with Ex Why Zed again in the future.
