Domestic violence - part 2

Our A1 posters printed on paper.

Domestic violence

My friend Isabelle Gondran and I entered a poster competition on the topic of Domestic Violence.

We submitted the poster in portrait and landscape formats. We use a domestic interior that portrays a quiet, innocent and static scene in opposition to the domestic items that reveal to be criminal weapons within a household.

At the end, Heather chose route 3 and I designed her business card.

Proposal for the identity of a Hair Artist

Route 1

Route 2

Route 3

My friend Heather Copling - a Hair Artist - asked me to design an identity for herself. Knowing her, I tried to define an appropriate tone voice that reflects her personality and hair expertise. Contemporary, light, artistry, floral and handmade were my inspiration to come up with 3 different routes.

Route 1: The organic and volatiles shapes are an abstract representation of hair flying in the air.

Route 2: A calligraphic and fluid version of hair that represents her initials

Route 3: A more modern interpretation of herself with psychedelic and sharp shapes

16.

16 is the number of the letters that composes my last name. Every graphic designer has experienced the joy of branding her/himself. I've been developing a marque for myself.

An afternoon at the V&A

I spent a couple of hours at the V&A this weekend to go to see an exhibition called Decode.

It just ended last sunday. Here is the synopsis of the exhibition that you can find on the V&A website:

The exhibition explores three themes: Code presents pieces that use computer code to create new works and looks at how code can be programmed to create constantly fluid and ever-changing works.Interactivity looks at works that are directly influenced by the viewer. Visitors will be invited to interact with and contribute to the development of the exhibits. Network focuses on works that comment on and utilise the digital traces left behind by everyday communications and looks at how advanced technologies and the internet have enabled new types of social interaction and mediums of self-expression.

I just posted some pictures of my favourite projects, especially the ones that involves synesthesia (the production of a sense impression related to one sense by stimulating another sense). How can we translate a sound into visual elements? Universal everything give us one of their interpretation. I also enjoyed the interactive projects where I was painting a blank digital canvas only with the motions of my body.

Photoshop advert

I love when craft meets high technologies.

“As real as it gets” says this advert for the new Adobe Photoshop CS4.
