THE EXPLORER'S series
is a good example of a successful idea. It is a very cost-effective
method of reaching a large or global audience with substantial quantities
of easily absorbed information about any place or topic. THE EXPLORER'S
series comprises three types of publication, see below, and they can
only be used for subjects that have a cultural or natural history
content. The selected topic is produced by IK in collaboration with
interested organisations or authorities. This service is particularly
suited to international projects that need qualified and easily accessed
information. For more information about production times and costs
for promoting your region or exhibition, please contact IK.
THE
EXPLORER'S HANDBOOKS are a series of international pocket guides.
Each guide, which is published in two languages, comprises short,
succinct and generously illustrated chapters. The guides are used
to give the reader easily understood information about a visit or
topic; maps make the handbooks ideal for pre-visit information or
as a guide or follow-up. They average 52 to 74 pages including two
foldouts, one of which is a postcard. Sold on site or in bookshops
for a budget price, the handbooks are designed to be an easily affordable
and worthwhile reference.
THE
EXPLORER'S MAPS are highly regarded pocket atlases containing
detailed maps of a specific region. Each map has an easily understood
legend: the icons have been carefully developed by IK for ease of
understanding and clarity. Besides containing maps, an index and practical
information, each book is prefaced by short chapters that describe
the local geography in two languages. The books have between 80 and
110 pages.
THE
EXPLORER'S EXHIBITION GUIDES are beautiful, compact, six page
colour catalogues. They are ideal for introducing visitors to exhibition
topics. Subject matter can include the purpose of the exhibition,
an overview and guide, and information about the exhibitor(s) with
contact names etc. The format and rigid paper quality make the guide
easy to use in crowded areas.
BOOKS & EXHIBITIONS
The pleasure of making items of cultural and natural historical
interest available to the public is an inspiring and important part of the
work of IK Foundation & Company. The results of IK projects are generally
published in book form or shown in the form of an exhibition - sometimes
it is a combination of both. When it is judged the subject is suitable and
important, IK also publishes books and produces exhibitions in collaboration
with other well-respected organisations.
It is however, primarily our own projects that lie behind the factual and
beautifully produced books and exhibitions that IK creates. No matter the size of the project, IK always
demands the same high quality, i.e. well researched, long-term and correct
content in combination with excellent design.
On the next few pages you
can read more about IK exhibitions and books.
IK also uses other forms of
media to broadcast the results of its work, these include seminars, radio,
film and the Internet. Visitors to the web site can buy books "off the shelf".
