Mr Cup will be a social guy...

perso / march 26th (2012) / 10.20 PM / from Grabels (near Montpellier)/ Daft Punk Tron legacy soundtrack

 

The idea behind Mr Cup is also to be social :) I am just one guy, I never want to use facebook, twitter and other as I want to focus on my work and I dedicat enough time to the "design community" by updating this blog... But times change, and I need to change too... Graphic exchange is not the right name anymore, there are not enough exchange now, it is just me talking, without answers...

The Mr Cup blog will be lauched soon... the other thing (shop, club...) will come step by step... Graphic exchange will stay an online archive of 6 years of post with its 25 000 images... But now, if you want to follow me, you can suscribe to my facebook, twitter, google+, pinterest, dribbble or flickr... If I use flickr for years, I just suscribe to all the other ones this week end, so they are pretty empty for now... But of course, you know me, it will change soon.

I also have a new email for submission... You, you well read, submission... Even if I said I do no accept submission, a lot of people did it anyway, so... please check the submission rules... I will read them on my brand new ipad... this week end was the end of an era for me...

The new letterpress coasters... at last !

perso / march 22th (2012) / 00.00 PM / from le Cap d'Agde (near the sea, I can even hear it) / Melanie Laurent

 

I really thought these ones would never arrive ! Better late than never... So, if you order the letterpress calendar before december 25th, and ask to get your set, it has been sent. For other people who want them, just support the blog to get them (minimum donation of 5€ to pay the costs). If some are left for the lauch or mr-cup, they will be on sell in the shop.

Studio visit : Agence LEG in Paris

perso / march 20th (2012) / 7.01 PM / from Frabels (near Montpellier) / Peter Gabriel Sratch my back

 

LEG is one of the most creative advertising agency of Paris (and so on of France...). Created 10 years ago by Gabriel Gaultier, they are famous for their unusual campaign for Eurostar, SFR or Nike. Having a crazy idea can seems easy, selling it to the client is more complicate...

Their website and philosophy speak for them :
"What costs the most in advertising is time you took to deceide",
"With a good cost-controller, the Eiffiel tour will be only 50m high" or
"For people who said nothing is possible, we remind that Russians send a dog in space 50 years ago"...



 

After exchanging email with Gregory Ferembach who work there, I ask him if I can visit while I was in Paris last week. And, the "offices" are like there projects, totally crazy, unique, unexpected... You feel more like an old British pub, or a Tim Burton movie, with its Chesterfield coachs, the large curiosity cabinet with its skulls, old books and stuffed animal heads (and even a fake stuffed human one)... And it is in this surprising place that the creative team work for clients such as Nike.


 

The most surprising is that it looks more like a young freelance designers office built into an appartment that one of the bigest and most influent agency of France. Here comes a selection of my favorit adverts and posters. I put some translation as everything is based on the concept and you must get it...

 

Low cost London


At 3 hours from Paris, there is London too.

 

London for lovers

 

When was the last time you visit London ?

 

 

Everything change at London

 

Rock is there to change your life

 

The blur one is my favorit : Get back, during 3 minutes, to this magical time when you did not have 2 childs and a house credit for 25 years...

 

Oui FM is now in Le Mans or Honfleur (which are french cities)

 

Like these for their concept and font work...

 

After talking with this nice creative team, I walk around the neightbour, and found these 2 cars... I always see in American movies cliché about french cars, thinking we always use 2CV or DS like these... So I think it was really funny to see that just after visiting the leg agency.

 

 

www.leg-agency.com / also on wikipedia to know their story.

Gregory runs the "monday links", an email send each monday with his links selection / He is also behind the great C'est qui les créas
