Every day life is beautifull
personal / september 25th / 4:00 PM / Muse
 

We moved in this new place in july... I have move a lot during the past years, and we always found, with my familly, nice places... this place we call "home" are so important as we spend our days in them... We work here, we live here, we create here... some people left home in the morning and came back after some hours, I did that for years... for us, we spend 90% of our weeks in this place... to be in harmonie, everything is important, from the furnitures to the spoon... I admire people who do not really care of that kind of thing, life must be simplier as our, because it is hard to have everything in harmonie all the time...

Anyway, this show you the new spirit of the forthcoming www.harmonie-interieure.com web site... We won't sell only stickers and posters we design, but also objects we found, old things, and some stuff done by people we admire... wood spoons, ceramics... childs decoration... We are impatient to show this, but it is a lot of hard work, mixed with clients projects I work on...

The difference between Inspiration and Copy
personal / september 1st/ 2:40 PM / Pearl Jam
 

I am always happy when people write to tell how my work inspire them, it is always very flattering... I am myself mainly inspired by what I see, the reason why I do this blog... You know this emotion when you see something and it's giving you creative inspiration...

Anyway, I think this guy doesn't see the difference between Inspiration and Copy... You may know the illustration I did for Backyard wine.

I would not say I invented illustrative letters, I did this, just as my graphic sentenses posters because it something a lot of people actually like, we could call it "fashion" if you want... The thing is that it was, I guess, the first time it was used for a wine label...

 

A lot of people reported me about this project that look similar to mine :

 

I, not unlike Brandever who ordered this illustration, really considier this as coping... Espcially when the designer present it like this : "They sent a current package plan which I responded that with my ideas". And also because it is for an bottle package... it may have been different for another support, I don't know...

A detail really make me think it is copy, the bird... I have put his S and my B to compare :

 

I know you can't give comments on this site, and I do not want to introduce it because I won't have the time to read and manage it, I instead prefer on focusing on finding stuff...

But if you think this is a copy and not fair, please report it on his behance page or on the dieline presentation...

Photography portfolio
personal / august 18th / 5:44 PM / Lenny Kravitz
 

I always do photos as a complement of my graphic design work. Most of the time for local clients, when they have no images to illustrate their brand...

A recent report I do in a steel factory (project bring to me by mediafix for one of their client) make me think I have no tool to present my photo works... So, Cargo is so easy to use that I create a web site to present these images done over the years... will update it soon with more "behind the scene" story and also how I use them or other designer use them in their works...

 
Here comes a little selection of these photos :

STEEL : report done 2 weeks ago in steel industrial factory

 

 

HONEY : have some funny story to tell about this one (get stung 9 times...)

 

 

ENERGY : report for VSB client I work with

 
Tire
 
MUSIC : working with some music concert hall allow me to shoot some live picture... I specially have fun with EDITORS...
 
And this is a personal project, of a stamp maker... I am sure you, readers of this blog and font lover will specially like thse ones ;)
