Research theme · 6 selected briefs
These studies define the chosen printing technique, approved materials and an observable quality or workflow measure.
A small workshop exercise supports claims about its chosen materials and conditions only. It does not establish industrial production quality or performance at scale.
Fine and Applied Arts · Print finishing technology
This Fine and Applied Arts final year project examines the effect of paper-grain orientation on a defined fold-edge quality measure through approved paper stock from one lot, prepared with grain direction marked before folding, with a defined comparison that can be adjusted to available access and supervisor guidance.
Read the proposed briefIndustrial Design · Prepress technology
This Industrial Design final year project examines detection of specified prepress errors in fictional packaging artwork files through generated design files with labelled correct and incorrect settings and no commercial client assets, with a defined comparison that can be adjusted to available access and supervisor guidance.

This Fine and Applied Arts final year project examines measurement and categorisation of material waste during selected small-batch print-finishing stages through approved material-use logs and non-sensitive observations from a teaching print run, with a defined comparison that can be adjusted to available access and supervisor guidance.

This Industrial Design final year project examines colour difference between a defined digital proof and repeat teaching-press output through a standardised colour target and documented output from an authorised teaching printer, with a defined comparison that can be adjusted to available access and supervisor guidance.

This Fine and Applied Arts final year project examines alignment error under selected registration methods in a bounded multi-colour relief print through repeatable teaching prints made with the same plate geometry, paper and approved ink setup, with a defined comparison that can be adjusted to available access and supervisor guidance.
Read the proposed briefFine and Applied Arts · Screen printing
This Fine and Applied Arts final year project investigates how registration methods affect consistency in a small poster edition. The proposed evidence comes from original poster artwork and supervised screen-print trials with approved materials, with the study limited to an agreed, feasible corpus or production setting.
