Thirteen Degrees North
The printed catalogue for the end-of-year exhibition of thirteen third-year Applied Visual Arts students at NorthTec. The brief came from the students themselves, and it was a chance to give something back by working alongside artists at the start of their careers.
Working with the students
Their words, drawn out and edited into one voice.
I asked each student to bullet point their work and write a short blurb, then expanded what they gave me into the written profiles, and invited Lynn Price to write the prelude.
The cover idea came out of a conversation with one of the students: a fine line map of Northland, with each artist’s spread marking the place they come from.
Some of the photography is mine.
The printed catalogue
One idea, held across sixty pages.
Every artist has a spread: a written profile, the locator map marking where they are from, and their work given room on the page.
What it shows. Publication design for print, and guiding thirteen people through their own material instead of designing over the top of them.
Artwork shown is the students’ own.
