Assignment 01
Collection: Design

Final Collection Catalog
Continue to design your collection catalog considering your object as a whole. Spend your time designing your publications grid, typographic system, pacing and organization. Print your publication in it’s entierty and bring it to class double sided and loosely bound with binder clips. We should be able to flip through your publication as if it were near final.

To recap, your catalog must include:
• 50 documented objects
• cover design
• contents page & category title pages (if applicable)
• page numbers
• collection statement





Background
Explore different options to elevate the materiality of your catalog. Consider the book an object. Every decision is an opportunity to respond to your content. Binding the book in a more mechanical way, such as perfect binding, says something inherently as does binding in such a manner that exposes the hand made qualities like coptic or Japanese stab. Youtube is a fantastic resource for discovering and learning basic techniques.
