Every year, the Design Academy in Eindhoven commissions a designer to create a special trophy for the graduating students. We didn't want you to miss this year's version, simply a 3-D printed pig head that comes apart in slices to become giant amulets, customized for each student and stating their degree.
Designed by Ted Noten, and fabricated by Freedom of Creation, the trophy celebrates the pig as a long-time Dutch icon, honoring the students in a beautiful, memorable, and slightly tongue-in-cheek way.
Thanks, Alissia!

Haha, makes you wonder why the "Master of Design" title is not internationally recognised!!!
good on them! that's absolutely glorious. I think it is sad tht universities get hung-up on tradition, it seems counter to the principles of enquiry and criticality that a place of learning represents. Worst of all are the fake traditions where new universities or colleges have their students parade around in mortar boards and gowns at graduations, an absurd claim to an ancient costume. The above is much better, and more appropriate.
