Design Academy Eindhoven Graduation Catalogue 2024
The 2024 graduation catalogue for the Design Academy Eindhoven was created by Pedro Lobo, graphic designer, visual artist, artistic researcher and alumnus of the school. The book was typeset in HAL Timezone with Mono, published by HAL Typefaces. Ronald Smits is responsible for the bookshots.
The DAE website offers a digital archive of their graduation catalogues, dating back to 1966, with scans of many of the older publications available as PDFs.
From the Academy’s Instagram post:
This year’s catalogue, designed by Pedro Lobo, is based on the concept of a Rhizomatic Archive, inspired by the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. It serves not only as an archive documenting the range of projects from this year’s graduates but also embraces a non-hierarchical, interconnected structure—inviting readers to explore project connections in any direction.
With 476 pages, the catalogue breaks away from a linear structure. Instead, it offers multiple entry points, uncovering connections between projects through a system based on keywords provided by the students, allowing readers to curate their own experience of the book.
Printed by robstolk® amsterdam on Fedrigoni Paper, the catalogue features an open spine for ease of navigation and includes a two-sided poster as a dust jacket. One side offers an overview of the projects, while the other showcases textures and close-ups inspired by the graduates’ work.
