WHAT IS TAGA?

TAGA STANDS FOR THE TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE GRAPHIC ARTS

Established in 1948, TAGA is the only global professional technical association for the graphic arts industries. TAGA has the industry’s best collection of technical papers and abstracts, written by some of the 300 world-renowned industry professional members of TAGA. TAGA focuses on traditional areas of press, ink and paper engineering applications as well as cutting edge graphic arts systems, software, and computer technology developments.

Every year, the TAGA Annual Technical Conference is the main destination for student chapters and industry members from around the globe. At this conference, TAGA Student Chapter publications are judged as they compete to win the Grand Prize, the Helmut Kipphan cup, for best overall student technical journal.

WHAT IS RYETAGA?

RYETAGA STANDS FOR THE RYERSON TECHNICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE GRAPHIC ARTS RyeTAGA is an official Student Chapter of TAGA. Our chapter consists of students from the Ryerson University Graphic Communications Management (GCM) Program.

RyeTAGA is advised by a faculty advisor, but distinctively remains entirely student-run. Most notably, Ryerson has been awarded the Harvey Levenson Undergraduate Student Paper Award four years in a row. RyeTAGA provides students with industry experience. The approximately 50 student members of RyeTAGA are dedicated to focusing their efforts on the design, planning and production aspects of the technical journal to be awarded the Helmut Kipphan cup, along with various industry awards.

WHAT DO WE DO? JOURNAL PRODUCTION

Each student chapter is required to produce an innovative journal, which is judged based on the cover, content, theme and overall production. The journal includes the top 5 proficient technical research papers, written and submitted by GCM’s third year students.

Members of the RyeTAGA Student Chapter complete production of the technical journal in its entirety.

This year’s journal will be printed at Ryerson. Using the skills and knowledge we’ve gained, we preflight, impose, proof, print, bind, and package each journal.
