Graduation 2020 Design Academy Eindhoven
Published by the Design Academy Eindhoven on the occasion of its 2020 graduation show, this catalog is an example of what has been referred to as the extreme present. At once intimidating and intoxicating, it is built around a reality that was in a state of accelerated flux. The catalog's relevance depended on the ability to uninterruptedly interpret this evolving reality.
The graduation projects in this volume were largely conceived in a past that seemed very distant at the time of publication, in the midst of a global pandemic. However, in many ways, this body of work is also anticipatory, looking forward to the future that promises a return to embodied practice.
A series of hypothetical news headlines were generated by an open-source tool that was fed with written descriptions of all 185 graduate projects. The works became a dataset, and the generated headlines reveal the collective (sub)consciousness of the graduating class. The assorted headlines unveil surprising trends, methodologies, biases, and desires, allowing for new connections to be made between the projects.

What are the Essential Tools Every Graphic Designer Should Master?
In the ever-evolving realm of graphic design, staying ahead of the curve requires a mastery of diverse tools. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an aspiring designer, a robust toolkit is indispensable for bringing your creative visions to life. In this exploration, we'll delve into the must-have tools that every graphic designer should embrace, emphasizing the significance of design tools and graphic design resources.
Adobe Creative Cloud Suite: Design Nirvana No conversation about graphic design tools is complete without acknowledging the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. This dynamic collection encompasses crucial applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Photoshop excels in image editing, Illustrator in vector graphics, and InDesign in layout and publication design. Mastery of these tools establishes a solid foundation for any graphic designer.
Canva: Design Made Simple For designers and novices alike, Canva has revolutionized the creative process. This online platform boasts a user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop functionality, making it accessible to beginners and efficient for professionals. Canva's versatility makes it an indispensable tool for crafting social media graphics, presentations, posters, and more.
Sketch: Crafting Seamless User Interfaces Delving into UI/UX design? Sketch is an indispensable tool for digital designers. This vector-based design tool prioritizes collaboration and the creation of responsive designs, making it a vital asset for those working on web and app interfaces.
Procreate: Unleashing Creativity Anywhere Graphic designers on the move or those preferring a hands-on approach often turn to Procreate. This iPad-exclusive app offers an extensive range of brushes, textures, and tools, making it a favorite among digital illustrators. Procreate challenges the notion that powerful design tools are confined to desktops.
Fueling Inspiration: Graphic Design Resources
Beyond mastering specific tools, graphic designers need a curated collection of resources to spark creativity. Here are some essential graphic design resources:
Unsplash and Pexels: High-Quality Stock Imagery Unsplash and Pexels provide an extensive array of high-resolution, royalty-free images. Incorporating these into your designs can add depth and authenticity, saving time on photoshoots or extensive image editing.
Google Fonts: Elevating Typography Choices A well-chosen font significantly impacts the visual appeal of your design. Google Fonts offers a diverse selection of free, open-source fonts seamlessly integrable into your projects.
Dribbble and Behance: Showcasing and Inspiring These platforms serve as social networks for designers, allowing you to showcase your work and discover inspiring projects from others. Regular exploration keeps you informed about design trends and ignites new ideas.
In Conclusion:
A Toolkit for Creative Triumph In the dynamic field of graphic design, versatility is paramount. Mastering a diverse set of tools, from industry standards like Adobe Creative Cloud to innovative platforms like Procreate, empowers designers to breathe life into their visions. Additionally, maintaining a well-stocked arsenal of graphic design resources ensures a constant wellspring of inspiration. By embracing both design tools and graphic design resources, you'll not only stay relevant but also continue to push the boundaries of your creativity. So, equip yourself with these essentials, and let your creativity soar in the world of graphic design.
