Course description:
This course is devoted to a book as the bearer of information and an artistic object.
This course provides the basics in book graphics.
This includes editorial work, computer development of breaks in the InDesign application and book document pre-printing preparations. There is a polygraphic minimum necessary for selecting the reproduction technology and communicating iwth the printer, basics of classical and alternative bookbinding. Also presented is photo image graphics technology.
The practical section is conducted in two directions: the creation of a so-called creator's book, a artistic artefact either in the form of a classic book or an object which goes beyond the borders of this form. Basic sources are one's own photography and own or second-hand text.
The alternative direction is the creation of an advertising catalogue. Here the emphasis is on the simultaneous treatment of the photographic and typographic elements. Part of the work is the treatment of the polygraphics.
In both cases emphasis is placed primarily on the inventive approach in the conception of the book document.
