    The Next Big Thing-

    An exhibition of Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam's design department. 16–19 September 2010. de Brakke Grond, Amsterdam. Magazine cover designed by Michèle Champagne and Lauren Grusenmeyer.

'The Next Big Thing' is a Sandberg Instituut design department exhibition featuring eleven students’ graduation projects along with other exceptional designs by students from the department.

All the projects make statements that are utterly personal, what binds them is their speculative character. Each project acts like a magnifying glass turned on significant developments in our society. The projects together demonstrate how the profession of (graphic) design enables one to operate on the cutting edge and reformulate what engages people.
