| DESIGN NAME: Grafika ASP Kraków PRIMARY FUNCTION: Artistic Catalogue INSPIRATION: My inspiration was the specific character of the Faculty of Graphic Arts in Cracow in Poland with strong tradition of graphic arts - printmaking. Meanings - keywords associated with graphic arts are: graphics - print - reflection - graphical errors due to printing techniques / translation / phase process of creation / reflection, printing, copying / multiplication. Briefcase for prints / metal matrix / appearance of modern aluminum laptops. Classic / contemporary. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Anniversary catalogue for the Faculty of Graphic Arts presents the School's overview: teachers' & students' artworks, articles with old photos, infographics, city plans, list of graduates. Book's idea evokes graphic art in classic and modern. 5 covers are modeled on traditional prints' briefcases. 3 different parts (many books in one book) are divided by metallic covers evoking metal printing matrixes and modern laptops. Specific colours assigned to departments. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Book navigation. To facilitate the readers reception, in the whole book I differed by colours the depictions of Departments. To each Department is assigned different colour that is visible in translation, pagination, details like lines under artworks, timelines and title pages opening each particular part of department. Navigation, hyperlinks and pagination is linked in texts, table of contents and presentation of teachers and students artworks. Modeled on browsing webpages. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2013 and finished in May 2014 in Cracow, Poland. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The covers' and historical texts' colour imitates metal printing matrixes. Titles embossed on thick cardboard covers refer to the traditional methods of printing. The titles' translation into English are reflected, printed on the next page after the cover, modeled on matrix and graphics prints. Each part has different construction and different paper. Reflected printer's traces in texts are deliberate errors. Printing process mistakes are visible in shifted colour on some parts of texts.

NAME: Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow PROFILE: The Faculty of Graphic Arts is one of the seven faculties at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Poland. The Faculty has strong tradition of graphic arts. Problems of graphic arts were undertaken as early as at the start of the Academy within Kraków University. In 1819 the first lithography studio was organized. In 1832 the programme of teaching engraving and lithography was introduced and conducted. During the reform of the Academy in 1859 a separate Studio of Graphic Arts was created. The Faculty of Graphic Arts traditionally combines graphic arts and graphic design in one curriculum, which is based on artistic conviction referring to the unity of art. The humanities-based artistic training has a new mission to accomplish, and should provide the basis for through artistic education regardless of the means and tools at the disposal of the artist - be it a designer or a graphic artist. The Faculty is widely known abroad, where its graduates are commonly recognized in many areas of graphic arts, e.g. Czeslaw Slania, Roman Cieslewicz, Jerzy Kucia. The teachers and students of the Faculty have developed a distinctive artistic environment in Krakow, since the early 1960s known as Krakow School of Graphic Arts. It has become the leading centre of graphic arts in Poland, and also widely recognised abroad. The graduates of the Faculty are frequently jurors in Polish and foreign festivals of graphic art, posters or animated films. |
