I love Instagram, and I love when I discover account like Benoit Berger one. It does on me the same effect as when I discover Christian Watson 1924.us (who, by the way, decided to close his account last week !)... Here comes a selection of his images.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did a selection of 50 inspiring Instagram to follow in this ebook available in the shop! 

 

I have more ideas than time! The redesign of this blog took much more time than expected, especially with the calendar and the shop, and the client projects too! I would like to post more here, I would like to post daily, but my days are only 24 hours... So, better done than perfect, I will more subjects/projects and maybe fewer images, but at last, I will post something! Here comes so inspiring project I wanted to share...

 

 

Vaughan Oliver is one of the designers who inspire me the most when I start design in the 90's (yes I start in at the 90's but it was the 90's...). His work and relation with 4AD were my dream job: design album sleeves and all the tools of the record company... I had the chance to me him in Barcelona Offf festival this year. It is also there I discover Unit edition, launch a kickstrater for a book about Oliver archives... I would love to visit them such as I visit Peter Gabriel studio last may...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I present Forefathers work 2 times (here and there) and the evolution of this studio is amazing! The projects are inspiring but their new website is just WOW! All the details and the way they present the portfolio page is my favorite... and the skeleton as the footer...

 

 

 

 

The work of Glenn Wolk is fascinating by all the details and the number of creations by project... just lost yourself in his portfolio...

 

 

 

 

A designer is often asked to design the front cover of a book, and maybe some illustrations for the inside... Only Dana Tanamachi could be asked and able to create 500 hand-lettered illustrations for a new edition of the bible! The project is presented on this dedicated page www.illuminatedbible.org,  and I invit you to check the illustration index to have an idea of the work done by Dana...

I also met Mayuscula at Offf, and visit their studio before they moved to bigger one in Barcelona! They update and redesign their website!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, already 9 years that Jeff Sheldon opened Ugmonk! As I share here for the 6th and the 7th (forget about the 8th ??), Jeff always do a special edition to celebrate! Here comes this year package! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have a common project with Territory studio for some months (years ?) and hope to bring it to life soon! If you see any recent movie over the past months, you have seen their work!! They work in wide range of disciplines, but what fascinate me is their work for screen graphics : they craft original and stunning realized screen content and UI design for on-set to support film narrative and performance. It was again the case for the amazing Blade Runner 2049, with a perfect translation, in screen graphic, of the mood of the movie. 

 

As they said : Tapped to create screen graphics for the sequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic film, Territory joined the art department in the very early stages of production. With an open brief to reconsider technology interfaces and interaction systems, we worked closely with Director Denis Villeneuve and Supervising Art Director Paul Inglis to support storybeats, performance and context. Adopting an experimental approach, the team set out to create highly original screens. Working across 15 sets, we delivered over 100 assets for on set playback, also driving the design direction for those concepts delivered to post.
