How do students discover who they want to become? At TU Delft, the Mechanical Engineering faculty paired with the New Media Centre’s Graphics team to address that question through animated storytelling. By developing eight distinct “Engineer of the Future” personas—each with its own narrative, style, and personality—students could see relatable career paths. Hand-drawn illustrations and concise two-minute videos translated complex concepts into engaging scripts, creating a compelling blended learning experience that inspires and informs.
Cok Francken’s 30-year journey at TU Delft spans posters, identity systems, and large-scale installations. Known for clarity and balance, he begins with pencil sketches and draws inspiration from real-world textures and photography. His experience with big formats and careful use of AI tools shapes designs that feel authentic, thoughtful, and visually compelling.
