[ Graduation Catalogue KABK 2009 ]

456 page catalogue containing all graduation projects of the students 
of the Royal Academy of Art in 2008-2009.

One's graduation is an ending of one thing but at the same time - and 
perhaps much more important - the beginning of something else. Something 
new.
Besides that, we also asked the students to tag their work with predefined 
and self-defined keywords, like: autonomous, conceptual, typographic, 
emotional, colourful, decorative, etc.
These tags were presented next to their work but also as clear, informative 
lists explaining how many times students from a certain course selected a 
specific tag or how many times a tag was selected in total amongst the 200 
raduates. This information gave more insight in how students of specific 
courses think of their own work.
For example: 'conceptual' was the tag that was selected the most while almost 
no one selected 'decorative'.

The tags also became navigational elements in the web-version of the book.
