DOGMA is a graphic design studio established by Theo van Beurden and Bauke van der Laan. The studio designs publications, identities and interfaces for culture and commerce, with a focus on reading experience and typography.
Leuven University Press employed us to design Girl with dead bird, a book in which art theorist Volkmar Mühleis explores an enigmatic sixteenth-century portrait from an intercultural perspective.
Since the formation of DOGMA in 2015, we have frequently been asked about the nature of our moniker. In response, we conceived Dogmata: a publication to elucidate and exemplify the name DOGMA in relation to our daily practice.
