self published exhibition catalogues

Your exhibition catalogues should include:

Each catalogue will come with end pages, front and back - in your own color choice, or the company's assigned colors.  
These pages will have no text written on them.

i. Images of your Capstone Thesis work 
These will include the final form of each work you include

ii. You may also include details of you working / of you shooting in the studio (thus you may need another photographer)

iii. You may also include details of each work

you may wish to include:
i. Excerpts from your Capstone Research papers -
If quotes are published from other authors, you need to cite the bibliographic source in a footnote at the lower edge of the page the excerpt is included on.

ii. They may be excerpts from your own writing, thus you need to cite this too in a footnote.
i.e. Your name, BFA Capstone Thesis Research Paper, December 2015, p.xx
If you use any images from others they must be open and available to be published, ie. stock photos.  Otherwise you CAN NOT use them, you are breaking COPY RIGHT law!

v. You may wish to include shots of your exhibition with your guests, comments from your book, etc.

vi. Following your exhibition, you will create a second book with your in-situ shots of the overall installation in the gallery

Familiarize yourselves early with various self-publishing
websites that are available to you.
You can begin to upload images and information a little bit at a time.
You can always make changes, until you finalize and purchase one book to be a part of your exhibition.

Here are a few:

Blurb.com (I strongly recommend)
Lulu.com > www.lulu.com
Diggy Pod > www.diggypod.com
Mind Stir Media > www.mindstirmedia.com
48 Hour Books > www.48hrbooks.com
Out Skirts Press > www.outskirtspress.com
Shutterfly
Snapfish

Do some research - 
Others are out there!

Familiarize yourselves with each printing company’s digital requirements, their templates, prices and the array of book product designs they have.  

I have a number as examples for you to look at.
There are a number of these catalogues in the college's Library collection as well.
