The challenge
The University of Salford's Architecture and Architectural Design department wanted to provide their students with a high-end printed book that showcased all their hard work during their time at Salford.
The solution
The book predominantly featured work created by students. By taking the client's brief and digging a little deeper, we determined that stripping back the content and design features with minimalism in mind allowed the students' work to take centre stage. And the university agreed.
Eluding to the University of Salford brand with stylish and subtle references, we used the students' work to guide the layout of each page.
We proposed a variety of orientations and sizes of images and designed a layout grid which provided clear guidance and worked in all instances.
Finally, we provided clear guidance on print finishes that worked in harmony and enhanced the design finish.
