IED thesis cover colors
The right color at your defense: not a generic shade but the exact tone — your university's brand or your faculty's tradition — with high-definition gold or silver foil.
IED red
#cb1517 — Red is IED's brand colour, recognisable across the entire international network of the Istituto Europeo di Design (Rome, Milan, Turin, Florence, Cagliari, Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, São Paulo). For IED portfolios and theses, brand red with gold or black lettering is the most requested choice. That said, some students go for black, grey or brand-specific colours for projects with a strong visual identity (Fashion, Communication).

Gold
#c8a368 — Warm gold or black lettering, set in contrast against the IED brand red.

IED thesis printing: what to know
IED — Istituto Europeo di Design — is an international network founded in 1966, today with campuses in Milan, Rome, Turin, Florence, Cagliari, Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and New York. The Rome campus, opened in 1973, is spread across three neighbourhoods (San Giovanni, Pigneto, Testaccio) with over 60 three-year courses, master's programs and continuing education across the four Schools: Design, Visual Arts, Fashion and Communication.
From GUUG it's 6 km to the main campus at Via Casilina 47: 22 minutes by car via Lungotevere/Termini/Re di Roma. We print around 60 IED portfolios and theses a year, with an interesting mix: technical boards for Design, lookbooks for Fashion, photobooks for Photography, magazines for Communication. The international IED network brings us students from all over Italy and abroad for graduation season.
On this page you'll find GUUG's services tailored to the four IED Schools, the three campuses with exact distances from us, and answers to the questions IED students regularly ask at our counter — many of them Italian students back from exchange terms at other campuses in the IED network.
IED Rome is spread across three campuses: the School of Design at Via Casilina 47 (00182, San Giovanni), the School of Visual Arts at Via Alcamo 11 (00182, Pigneto), and the Schools of Fashion and Communication at Via Giovanni Branca 122 (00153, Testaccio). From GUUG, the Via Casilina campus is the closest (6 km, 22 min by car), while Testaccio is the easiest by public transport (5 km, metro B Piramide). Pigneto is reachable by metro A to Termini + metro B to Pigneto.
