The catalogue needs to be done in photo shop and saved as pdf. I will update you on this as printers etc. are still to be established.

Consider:

Your catalogue is to bring your entire year together. It is also a platform to showcase you as a designer.

This can be a powerful tool for marketing, sharing your work and developing your brand. 

In assessing your catalogue, your moderators will look at the following:

• Clarity (is there a logical 'clear story' through the pages?)
• Involvement (what is the level of enthusiasm?)
• Aesthetic (what is the level of personal expression/signature?)
• Finish (level of professionalism)
