The University of North Carolina always tries to make sure that its students are getting the most information they absolutely can. A tool still used to this day is a Graduate catalog. This book is filled with any information a future 49er might need before attending. Whether it be class info, GPA requirements, or policies, you will find it in this book.
This is one of the first Graduate catalogs of the University, dating back from 197–1973. Consisting of only graphic elements, we can see how these have changed over time. To this day a majority of photography is used to lure one into opening the graduate catalog. However, the lack of photography in this edition sets it apart from the others. A clear color palette is show: Charlotte green, muted gray, and black. It seems to be printed on off-white card stock. Geometric shapes are used to represent what one could assume to be buildings and/or windows. These elements are known to symbolize the future but in this case, they could be telling the story of the growth and development of the University.
