/ THIS IS ME /

This is me So this is me and this is what I do. Hopefully you’ll find what you are looking for or at least get inspired on the way!

I am a young graphic designer that studied at Axesud, school of graphic design and visual communication in Toulouse, France. Like many french people, I am very passionate about my food and the same passion drives my work. I design mostly prints, be it traditional design or more creative, and I do it with a smile. No project is insurmountable and I am always willing to try my best to achieve what is expected. There is always a solution to your problem and of course when there is a will, there is a way.

I have always valued an open mind in design : it is important for a good graphic designer to adapt his or her style to the request. There are as many styles as there are tastes in the world, and there are as many tastes as there are individuals. With this factor in mind it is essential to be creative, curious and have an broad graphic culture.

Trends and fashions are ever changing and it is important to stay on top and even ahead of what is happening in the design world.

P E R S O N A L P R E S E N TAT I O N

In my childhood I have had the opportunity to live in different countries and therefore experience many cultures. It was my first contact with design.

It was thanks to these experiences that I was able to understand the richness and vastness of art and design. Furthermore , my father working in hospitality, I was brought up in hotels where design plays a major role in providing an all round experience for the clients.

During my design studies, I inherited the nickname «Chameleon» . This was due to the fact that I was able to adapt my style for each project.

I really strive to come up with the most creative content without of course neglecting the quality of my work. I was also able to work for a trendy interior design agency called Paristic. I was given the responsibility to coordinate a team of graphic designers as I understood and anticipated clients needs to come up with the most suitable design for their interior.

Today I have a passion for online trends : I would like to think of myself as a trendy geek. What’s in, what’s out, what is yet to come. I love being the first to have seen the new youtube trend, the last internet meme, the next Tumblr fashion, the upcoming underground musician or the rising hit series. It is my guilty pleasure. Also, discovering new illustrators or graphic designers allow me to try new techniques and broaden my range of styles.

If you have any more questions : I will answer with pleisure!

If you have job openings : I am interested!

The

Tempest Hear! Hear! The return of this grand classic tale!

Poster created for a play by Shakespear : “The Tempest�.

This poster is destined for a more child orientated public : a pantomime.

With the use of different layers to create a zoom effect on the couple I wanted to symbolise the different trials the protagonists have to overcome before their happy ending.

dia Round 1 of the economy and media battle of the year!

Poster for a symposium on the subject of economy and media.

I wanted to emphasis the the conflict of interest that occures when having to deal with economy and media.

Therefore for this project I decided to get my inspiration from authentic boxing posters. With this layout I was able to depict the tension between the two subjects, and this, without using telltale imagery.

Seadux What do you mean you’ve never heard of the band “Seadux”?

Seadux is a logo destined for a mock heavy metal band. The name is actually an anagramme of my graphic design school name “Axesud”.

I reproduced all the design codes used in this kind of scene :the texture, the colors, the aggressive shapes etc

Double page illustration using quotations from famous writers/poets.

Interpretation of these quotes were free : here you can notice a mix of cuttings, drawing and photoshop.

“The match between a 70 kilos man and a bomb the same weight is, without a doubt, the silliest invention of our time�

Pierre Mac Orlan. //15/53//

/ ORNEMENTS /

PRINT PROJECTS

Ornements Such a pretty letter!

Page created for Axesud’s schools’ annual journal. The theme of this years’ journal was a Typographic ABC. I was given the “O” for “Ornement”.

My inspirations here was the likes of Pierre & Gilles or David Lachapelle who are well known for their kitch, bling, plastique and incredibly ornemental photos.

I created this scene for my photo which I then touched up on photoshop. I wanted this shot to tell a story and convey a decorative scene : as if nature decided to mold itself around the letter to make it stand out. The magpie silouettes add to the story telling. Magpies are known for their passion for shiny objects : it seemed fit to add them to the picture.

A new way to discover this classic tale.

Frank Pavloff wrote “Matin Brun” (or “Brown Morning”) as a way to illustrate what it would be like to be live under a totalitarian dictatorship.

The themes mentioned are : segregation, media manipulation, violence, pets, the color brown etc.

PRINT PROJECTS

Matin

Brun

We were asked to illustrate this story with 6 illustrations and then to adapt each illustration to a pop-up system.

I wanted to use a retro design that was usual to the art used sometimes during dictatorships. The use of the newspaper as a color allowed me to evoke the role of media in the story. The book alternates between traditional illustrations and the pop ups.

World

The school of arts and materials are opening its’ doors to the public : come on in!

Project created in collaboration with students from the ECT : a business school in Toulouse, France. The goal of this collaboration was to create a poster for the EEAM (european school of arts and material) school’s bi-annual event.

The theme for this event was to discover different techniques used around the world to build walls. The name of the event is “walls of the world”.

I decided to use the “tilt and shift” technique that allows to give a miniature feeling to a large scale image. Therefore thanks to this technique I am able to depict a multicultural scene in a small environment. To show that the world will be bought to you on a more human scale.

Triangle Discover Bermuda’s dark mysteries with this voodoo graph.

This poster is a semiotic graph of all the dissapearances that have occured in the infamous “Bermuda Triangle”.

I was inspired by voodoo culture and it’s imagerie and symbolism : voodoo is a common religion in the Carribeans.

It has a strong imagery and it’s dark mysticism suited well the strange disappearances that have occurred.

Here you will find a few global brand identity projects that I have worked on. These are mostly mock projects done for school work.

/ GREEN REPUBLIC /

BRAND IDENTITIES

Green Republic An engaged brand : a rebellious logo.

Global identity for an a store chain that sells organic brands and products.

Creation of the chains’ name, logo, stationnary as well as it’s guidelines.

Green Republic is a chain store that targets clients that buy organic products by a means of militancy. They consume these products because they are engaged in protecting the environment, keeping healthy, knowing the origins of the products etc.

I was inspired by typical graphic symbols of defiance like graffiti or strike posters.

Butterfly Caught is a font that was designed with the music by Swedish artist in mind : “Fever Ray”. The latter refers to her music at being “Shamanic Pop”.

For the creation of this eerie typography I was majoritaly inspired by nature : fluid letters that are a reminder of cells, plants, cobwebs and butterfly wings. Hence the name “Butterfly Caught”.

Shamanic pop ear and eye candy to take home and appreciate.

In collaboration with the creation of “Butterfly Caught”. We were asked to create a global identity of a mock album for the artist of our choice.

Fever Ray is an artist with a very complete and specific universe. She has brought a new look and feel to the music world. It was important for me to translate that atmosphere through the likes of a poster, a CD album cover and a vinyl.

The world of Fever Ray is very dark, eerie and esoteric : she qualifies her music as being “shamanic pop” which is very revealing of her overall style.

BRAND IDENTITIES

Are you scared? Are you petrified? Are you spooked?... Welcome to Red Seat!

Red Seat is a high definition online streaming and video store that deals only with thrillers.

The logo tells a story : there is a interaction between the “R” and the “S”. The design of the word “Seat” is a reminder of Saul Bass : the master of the genre when you think about thrillers.

I wanted to play on the anxiety side of thrillers by using lighting to create spooky atmosphere. Lighting also has a important role in movies so the choice of the play of lights seemed appropriate. All the graphic elements used in the site are there to help create and overall scqry experience for the internet user.

BRAND IDENTITIES

i.wear The future of clothing is now : intelligent advertising for intelligent clothing.

This branding project was for a campaign for technological clothing or “intelligent clothing”. The brands’ name is “i.wear”.

For this new brand I decided to guide my concept around the word “blend” since the clothes blend into your lifestyle : they are a second sking that adapt to your everyday life.

The clothing being able to adapt to your everyday life : i wanted the prints to reflect that same aspect. Therefore I decided to design i.wear’s stationnary using thermo reactive ink. When the user touches the stationnary the colors react in consequence.

It is as they are alive and reacting to us.

On the following page you have a global look at the brands’ stationnary.

Therefore the both the billboard and the editorial spread are printed with thermo chromatic ink that react to the surrounding temperature. Therefore when the environment is cold the
