The intended final product is a printed catalogue with adequate binding and graphic design.

The preparation for the production of the catalogue also includes several lectures on printing techniques and their

development up to the present. However, the main focus will be on surface printing - offset printing, which is the

the majority of the print production is currently carried out. We will deal with the issue from

pre-press, RGB to CMYK conversion of photographs, the appropriate use of the printing grid and with regard to

the size of printed photographs. Advantages of amplitude or frequency modulated raster, stochastic

raster. This theoretical preparation is concluded with a visit to the printer.

On the basis of these theoretical foundations, a product catalogue will be created, with a minimum of ten

The choice of analogue or digital technology will be left to the student's decision, which

will then be part of the defence of this thesis.

Výsledky učení

The listener gains knowledge of printing issues, especially those related to the conversion of photographic materials into a printed medium. The student learns about the preparation for printing.

On the basis of the selected catalogue content, the student synthesizes all the experience gained from the Techniques of Photography 01-02 course, systematically examines the most appropriate method of scanning, and organizes the results in relation to the catalogue concept. He consults his plan with the graphic design teacher. In print preparation, he/she collaborates with the teacher and the print instructor. The result is the realization of a product catalog, leaving the choice of product entirely up to the student's choice and conceptual approach.
