2010 Rencontre Africaines Identity

Rencontres Africaines is the kind of project I really love working for. Two friends of mine, Florian Laval and Joan Vigouroux decided to go to Africa, from January to July 2010, to follow the African soccer cup and the World soccer cup. They spend their time taking pictures of the continent, filming and editing movies about the soccer fans out there. It is a pretty cool idea, and I was really happy to design an identity and a little website for them.
Well done guys !

 

2009 C••••• P•••• S•••••••

From P•••• to S•••••••, C••••• takes us in a fabulous trip on a Google Map.

•••••••• ••••••• asked me to create a concept for the opening of the new •••••• flagship in ••••••••.
I came up with the idea of using all the content created by •••••• to build an imaginary path between ••••• and ••••••••. The users would navigate through it using the Google Maps API.
As far as I know, it is a world first that a luxury brand uses the Google Maps API to advertise, and I am pretty proud of it!

2009 Computerlove's Ubiq installation

Ubiq, a temporary art installation for the famous inspiration magazine Computerlove.

In september 2009, Computerlove turned insane during almost one month.
I was asked by Christophe Martin, owner of Computerlove, to create a piece of weird and intriguing stuff that would replace the usual homepage during the portal's facelift. The big deal was to talk about ubiquity, and some NSFW bits helped this experience to become a succesful viral (and have a little trouble with some Twitter users as well).

I asked to Panarama to work with me for the sound design, and MLBBK @ Naive New Beaters to compose this pretty cool music for the fake trailer.

Maybe I'm mad, maybe you are.

 

2009 Miss Dior Chérie

You are not dreaming. What you see here is indeed the 85th pop-up book style website that has been released in 2009! This personal diary tells the story of Miss Dior Cherie during her romantic journey through Paris and is inspired by the TV Commercial, shot by Sofia Coppola.

This website was produced at Publicis Net, and I took in charge the art direction, graphic design and animation. My friend Claude Foulquier was there to produce pretty cool 3D stuff.

« Moi je joue, moi je joue à joue contre joue… »

Maryna Linchuk brings our team some luck I guess, because this website won the first french digital Gold Lion in Cannes (Design), a gold Eurobest (Design), and a French Art Directors Club award (Motion).

    

 

2009 Naive New Beaters' Wallace booklet

« OK fine, I’m not that De Niro guy »

The first Naive New Beaters album has been released on may 25th, 2009. It's name is Wallace.
I was asked to take in charge the art direction of the booklet.

As the band's favorite designs are the hand-made ones, I decided to create for real all the types used to write the songs' lyrics.

For a better understanding of the work, check the making of photos here.

2008 Les Colonnes Identity

Les Colonnes is a pretty cool place in Rodez, France, which is my beloved hometown. It’s a restaurant and a bar where you can have fun and chat with ladies all year long. I was asked to create a brand new identity for this little piece of paradise, keeping in mind that it is a famous and respected place of in the city, because of its age and exceptional location.
I think it is the project I made to get free drinks I am the less ashamed of!
