This is the first in a series of four related books. It deals with the thinking, planning and preparation that should take place before production of material begins. Whatever kind of material it is, it will take time and money. Producers will therefore want it to be worth the effort, and to do the job it was meant to do. Careful planning is one way to help to achieve this.

This book deals with the design and production of artwork. 'Camera-ready' artwork means the material you want printed -completed text and illustrations pasted in position, ready for the printer to make a printing plate. Design and production can involve a wide range of choices and techniques. You as a producer do not have to know everything! What you must know is what to ask, and who to ask, in order to make informed choices. You may go on to do all the practical work yourself, or you may explain things to somebody else so that they can do it. This book covers planning and making choices as well as practical work.

This book gives information about printing processes relevant to small-scale production units. It concentrates on methods that can be used on your own premises, without a high degree of technical training. It aims to give useful but general information; for more specific details and for how-to-do-it information, we shall refer you to the training materials and resource books included in this package.

The first three books of this series cover research, planning and pretesting of material, the design and production of artwork, and information about different printing processes. All these subjects are relevant to the person running a small printing unit, but this book deals with things that form part of his day-to-day activity and are therefore of more immediate concern.

This book challenges two of the most commonly held assumptions about Samuel Beckett. First, that he belongs exclusively to a literary tradition and second, that he was a reclusive figure entirely uninterested in his public image or reception. Presented here for the first time as both an accomplished artist and curator, this book situates Beckett in a new aesthetic and intellectual lineage. Beckett's later experiments in radio, film, television, theatre and photography - the focus of this study - deserve to be considered from within a new audio-visual context. Samuel Beckett: A Curated Life claims that the importance of Beckett's innovations in sound, moving image and installation, often dismissed as marginalia by traditional textual scholarship, establish his work as a key precursor to much of today's contemporary art. Also outlined for the first time are Beckett's creative collaborations with influential photographers such as Brassai, Cartier-Bresson and Avedon. Alongside these collaborations, this book will also trace direct lines of affiliation in the works of contemporary artists such as Janet Cardiff, Stan Douglas and Gerard Byrne. What emerges from this new perspective is an understanding of Beckett as an artistic and technological innovator. Recognizing Beckett as a vital participant in the development of 20th century aesthetics, this groundbreaking study overturns the pervasive image of Beckett as the reclusive author 'damned to fame'.
