At the end of each academic year, HCA hosts a graduate show displaying work from all BA and MA students. As part of my role at HCA, I was tasked with producing course brochures that listed all exhibiting students and included a short bio and image for each.
As each brochure needed to be signed off by the course leader and included hundreds of students, a high level of communication and organisation was essential each year.
Cover images were chosen from student work to represent each subject.
In 2021, students from the 2020 cohort were invited back to exhibit alongside 2021 students, as they had missed the opportunity to exhibit the previous year. This resulted in a higher number of brochures needing to be produced than usual.
The number of students varied between courses, meaning the layout needed to be flexible and adaptive. Smaller courses used a single fold with two to three students per page, while medium-sized courses featured four students per page. The largest courses also included four students per page but extended onto the back of the brochures.
