UNFOLLOW THE LEADER

In a culture driven by speed, visibility, and algorithms, what does design mean today?
Unfollow the Leader reflects on the evolving role of graphic designers in a world shaped by digital platforms, economic forces, and artificial intelligence. Developed within an educational context and rooted in student work, the book examines the tensions between craft and technology, autonomy and dependency, and tradition and disruption.
At its core, the idea is that design is not about form, but attitude—the willingness to question what seems self-evident.

Unfollow the Leader. New book. Coming soon.

Design is not about being seen. It is about seeing clearly. In a culture ruled by algorithms and accelerated by AI, visibility is constant while reflection becomes rare. Unfollow the Leader — Student perspectives on the graphic design canon returns to the canon not only to preserve it as a living archive, but to reactivate it as a field of dialogue and future possibility. History is not a monument; it is material. Not obedience. Not nostalgia. Not noise. A recalibration.

Circulation of Design

The annual exhibition by Bachelor 3 Graphic Design students is back!
Join us on Friday 16 & Saturday 17 January 2026 at the SHOWROOM of Sint Lucas Antwerp.
Circulation of Design looks at how ideas, images, styles, and meanings are constantly on the move — circulating between designers, users, cultures, and contexts. From physical to digital, from concept to reinterpretation.
Come discover fresh work, new perspectives, and the next generation of graphic designers.

I had a nice chat with Robert Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma of Fu***ng Good Art, while building up their exhibition at Enter Enter in Amsterdam.

Fu***ng Good Art is a roaming zine by artists Robert & Nienke — part art mag, part research adventure.

Since 2003, they’ve made 44 publications in all shapes + formats, always with other artists

Now showing at Enter Enter, Amsterdam. Go check it out.
