Academic research report
Client: Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam
A research report series with a challenging criterion: to be produced by the institution’s in-house reproduction department with basic production means at low costs.
To prevent the reports from carrying a cheap do-it-yourself appearance, the cover white ink printing and die cut were professionally executed to serve as the series’ chief visual component. Each individual report’s title slip, inside printing, and binding were carried out by the in-house reproduction department.
Professionally executed white ink printing and die cut hole combined with internally produced color-copied title slip, inside printing, and binding.
