Last week, I was invited by Adobe France to cover the inspiring Offf festival in Barcelona. For those which doe not know it, OFFF is a community inviting all those who are eager to learn to participate and get inspired in a three-day journey of conferences, workshops, activities and performances. This event is really about meeting people and sharing inspiration. During the 2015 edition I met Michael Chaize there, and one year later I get an interview about his experience at Adobe published in Walter magazine ! 

 

Offf is like being 10 and back to school... "Hey I like your work, do you want to be friend with me" ? This is what happen with Sebastian Spasic alias AKUsepp, among others, an amazing photographer from Germany. He starts shooting Adobe invited designers, as well as people around Offf and this is the result. Among them the "other" french designer of the band, Olivier Huard. Thanks again Stéphanie and Adobe for the great moment !

These 2 last pictures are me working/not working and I had the pleasure to met the great Carl Sprague who was set designers on The Grand Budapest Hotel, among others ! I present him Walter 2, of course !

 

During the event I also do a a live presentation of my work that you still can now watch here, hosted by the great Rufus Deuchler. 

 

 

Even if I was in Offf in Barcelona last week, guest of Adobe France, I did not make a mistake, I well met Mayuscula brands back in June 2015, a year ago!

I never found time to edit the photos, so after seeing them again last week, I think it was time! It is, in fact, interesting to do it a year after. I remember this feeling when I visit their studio in the great Barceloneta, a neighborhood close to the beach, and it makes me want to have a place like this to work, create... and put all my stuff! And now, a year later, I have this place, I have my own studio in Arles!

Follow me in Barcelona!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mayùscula is the studio of Rocio Martinavarro, and she presented me her projects, for clients by also selfinitiated. She was finished her big project "A good plan", a notebook full of strategic branding tools and templates divided into four multilingual booklets: Creativity, Planning, Strategy and Identity. the book is now available in this dedicated web site, and I was pleased to present it in the second volume of Walter magazine ! 

 

 

 

 

I loved this project Rocio presented me, a branding for a Kuwait based company : Zeri Crafts. They do not only design the identity tools, but also the products based on multiforms geometric patternes and all the way to use them : on leather, wood, printed, cutted...

Time to share about all the amazing people and talents I met over the past days in Barcelona at OFFF under the invitation of Adobe France. To make a great transition before presenting Spanish and worldwide artists is to show you the amazing detailed work of Violaine and Jeremy. They just design this beautifull poster for JR current project at the Louvres, where I was last week to gave him the Walter magazine... You follow me ?

 

It is always nice to met the artists and I let your discover, if you do not know them, the amazing detailed drawing work of Jeremy...
