Drawing on Ideas

What we love about this exhibition catalog example

The Drawing on Ideas exhibition catalog uses bold, oversized typography on its cover to create instant visual impact, perfectly suited for an architecture and design-focused audience. Printed on uncoated newsprint-style stock, it offers a tactile, approachable feel while maintaining crisp reproduction of both large-scale type and fine image details.

Inside, the grid-based layout organizes 77 works into a clean, easy-to-navigate format, balancing text blocks with scaled images for clarity. The tabloid-style fold allows for generous spreads, making it ideal for displaying multiple pieces of content at once without visual clutter. Lightweight yet effective, this format is a cost-efficient way to present high-volume information with strong design presence.

At Thomas Group Printing, we help clients bring exhibition and event catalogs to life with format, paper, and print techniques tailored to maximize both impact and usability.
