Every year, the Visual Communication Department of the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) issues a publication with the students’ graduation projects.
The 2025 edition revolves around the core concept of perspectives. It celebrates the graduating class and explores questions of style and the ZHdK’s influence on its students. Alongside glimpses of the diploma projects, it brings forward voices from graduating students, alumni, and current peers. It’s not a polished publicity brochure, but an unfiltered glimpse into the school’s culture. Opinions are printed as they were spoken – raw and unvarnished. This attitude is reflected in the book as an object: it breaks with conventions and explores radically unpolished approaches to printing and binding, using completely uncut offset sheets.
This radically systematic approach to editorial design is carried further in the choice of the typeface System, of which only one cut is used.

The last offset sheet was reversed so the closed side where the pages are connected faces the outside, not the spine like usual. A perforated line allows the reader to open the pages and unveil the student portraits.
