About Me

A Room with a Hue project has been developed by MA Publishing students (at the London College of Communication) as part of their course. As a feature of the main project, this blog will introduce the users to creative working environments inspiring artists around the world. Discussions, events, abstracts from the book, but also colours and emotions will be experienced by the readers, giving them the chance to have a different insight into the art world. Open your artistic mind.

A Room with a Hue... Coming to life!

We are getting closer to the publishing day... And the book is going through the printing, binding and finishing processes. 

The last few weeks have been busy and stressful, but seeing the cover being printed today has been a wonderful moment! We decided to take some pictures of this process, which we found really fascinating. Check it out!



This is Tony, one of LCC Technicians. He's just finished producing the plate from a film and is cleaning it to make it ready for the machine.




Here you are the bright shiny plate just placed on the Heidelberg one colour printing machine we have at LCC.




This is our paper - 50 sheets of silk weave 350gsm turquoise paper. 




The printing process.




Our Production Dept (Becky and Karla) checking all details.


The texture and the ink create the effect we were looking for - it's nice to touch and to look at! 

We'll have an exhibition at LCC later in May. We'll keep you updated with more details, so that you can save the date and come to touch, look, and feel inspired by our book!!!
