communication - self-awareness - authenticitylove - duality - contrast
The ink is what blurs the mind when it comes to creative decision making. It is the catalyst that devides meaning and chaos, and the beginning of all orginality. It is the construct that defines the work of Francois Rivard’s conceptual, electronic project, INK ELEMENT. Built on a grounded understanding of synthesis and classic live-electronic instrumentation. Rivard’s music is a poetic mix of storytelling and intelligent sound design.

design - treatment - anatomy - safety zone - minimum size
Sometimes in life things are not what they seem, sometimes we want to be perceived differently from how we actually are, sometimes communication fails and seems to be the source of loneliness that ties us up in our own mental space and clichés.
The logo design is based on the the artist’s values and concepts of communication, self-awareness, authenticity and love..
The achieved destortion of the artist name was achieved in an analogue process and reflects the concepts of duality and authenticity, while at the same time communicating chaos and the inner conflict of decision-making.
The gemoetric shape builds a contrast to the distortion, adding an harmonic element to the chaos.
