The Kyuhyung Cho diploma designs are perfectly personalized for the creatives nominated for the Nova Design Award.

Cho integrates each artist’s initials into the presented product, with the addition of a short blurb of their work. Since this is a [graphic design award](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidex), such a layout makes sense. The question is, why not let this concept spill over into the design of diplomas of other concentrations?

By attaching some sort of customized differentiation to the certificate, a heightened [sense of accomplishment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamyuni) and individuality is recognized. [Graduation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-magic-bundle) (from no matter what school) is a huge accomplishment and should be celebrated as such. However, the usual standard sheet that is presented to thousands of other successful students belittles each individual effort and feat. A show of careful consideration can make such a big difference.
