About Ukd 카탈로그

Ukd는 과학, 문화, 인간 활동의 분야와 학문 영역에 따라 텍스트를 분류하는 데 사용되는 인쇄 카탈로그입니다. 이 출판물은 원료 염색지에 인쇄된 대형 컬러 간지로 각 분야를 구분하여, 원하는 분야를 신속하게 찾을 수 있도록 했습니다. 영역 기호는 명확하게 표기되어 있으며, 기호는 왼쪽에, 설명은 오른쪽에 배치하여 하위 범주의 기호가 어떻게 구성되는지를 보여줍니다. 책은 내구성을 위해 은박으로 엠보싱 처리한 하드커버로 제작되었습니다. 삽지는 장식지를 사용했으며 CMYK와 팬톤 색상으로 인쇄되었습니다.

Unique Properties: Ukd serves to catalog texts depending on the fields and disciplines of science, culture and human activity. The modern Ukd design clearly divides the fields, which is the most important element in the structure of the publication and the cataloging process - hence the colorful, large dividers on mass-dyed paper. Clear labeling of domain symbols and the arrangement of these symbols within paragraphs allows you to quickly understand how these symbols are created.
Dimensions & Packaging: 215 mm x 36 mm x 310 mm
Tags: book, publication, disciplines, catalog, science, culture
Production Technology: Hardcover, embossed with silver foil. Inserts made of various decorative papers. CMYK and pantone printed
Design Challenge: A major complication was the bookbinding, workmanship and material aspects of the publication, combined with the high circulation. The interleave pages had to be cut and sewn-in separately and manually, which prolonged and complicated the entire production process.
Similarly difficult was the selection of Pantone colors for screen printing on mass-dyed paper and the best possible repetition of the color of the mass-dyed paper in the Pantone color of the digits symbolizing the field.
Inspiration: The inspiration was the desire to break with the greyness, uniformity and blandness of previous Ukd publications and the paintings of Mark Rohtko with their color. Catalog is used in every library. Until now, searching for a given field required browsing through the entire publication or going back to the table of contents. The choice of vivd colors for field division refers to the division of physical space into bookshelves. Using publications is like navigating through a real library.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2019 in Lodz and finished in November 2019 in Warsaw
Operation Flow: When librarians take the book in their hands, they immediately know that they are dealing with a new edition of the Ukd tables – so different is this edition from the previous ones. They also see its structure immediately, even before opening the publication. After a short use, the librarian learns what colors are associated with particular fields and can immediately open the publication on the part that interests him. Thanks to the contrast with the thin paper of the book block, the thick paper of the double dividers makes it easier to find the place where a given field begins. Large cards with numbers make the field symbol immediately visible, which is important when the librarian creates symbols describing a given book. The name of the field is also displayed separately on a smaller divider, beautifully contrasting with the large one and creating color harmony. The hardcover ensures greater durability of the publication, opened and closed many times and transferred by librarians to the shelves where the books are placed. The format of the publication remains the same as in previous editions, as does the paper of the book block. The layout of the content - symbols on the left, description on the right - makes it easier to find subsequent subfields and clearly shows how symbols are created for lower-level categories.
