Topics

This course aims to develop an understanding of the ‘process flow’ in contemporary methods of print production. It enables students to examine possible areas for confusion in both ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ communication during production editing and then, describe various components, techniques and procedures in print production. By reading, critiquing and (in time) creating print products, the students will also need to develop a final group project demonstrating a mastery of most frequent techniques.
