visiting card for my Valen-...technician! lD

Here a little job the technician of my former school gave me.
I wanted the card sending out a modern atmosphere. The first second you see the card, it should be clear whom's name it carries. A technician's. Not a technician of something random, but a technician of modern computers of an modern establishment.

First, I searched some motives concerning the modern computer engineering.

I spontaneously scanned a USB-stick, only to see how it will work out. I think it was a good idea, but it didn't work out as well as I would have liked. I scanned the best resolution the scanner could manage, but it wasn't as I wanted.

So I searched further until I found two on which I continued to search :

Here you can see the final version. Chosen by both of us, the technician himself and myself.
We liked both the same version! ^^

 

 

I hope having such an opportunity often, to do a lot more of these jobs it's a great thing to think for whom and for what you do those creations!

Valentin, this poster's photographer, writer and realisatorand me who was model, realisator and I had the idea.

This is so cool. My family went crazy seeing this poster, I was so happy! ^^

typography workshop 2010

eating chocolate bars to get sugar while having earbuds in my ears is kind of strange when chewing. . .
I would have like a great bacon-patato-sandwich for lunch... but I want to finish this typography!!!! I'm hungry!!!! lD

 
I will show and explain the whole typo when it is completly finished! ^^

---

So... this was a workshop of typography. We searched for a fond expressing a precise theme.
I began with the quation marks to see what one can do with it.

Finally the fond became too plump to express the elegance or culture I felt when thinking of these quation marks. They express some kind of knowledge. Being part of a text, they seem intelligent? 

In the end, they transformed into aubergines! 
I love this kind of rubbish nonsense...

Here the final version :

The Spring of the Poets 2010

Here is the second work of my 'career' chosen to be exposed officially. I didn't believe it!!
It was chosen for 'the spring of the poets' ('le printemps des poètes') this year. It is a project in my university for the first years, but in fact, every student can present one or two work pieces with his text and illustration in the context of a certain subject.

This year's subject was 'the women in colours' ('la femme en couleurs')

I wanted to create textures with the wrapping film putting the ink afterwards in between it's layers, but it didn't work the way I wished. My boyfriend took the pictures and I added the ink. Finally the pot of ink was more interesting than the coloured skin, so we stayed on this. 

The day the 10 posters should be chosen, I wasn't sure of my finished work at all! Thank you so much Val, you always help me so much to believe in what I do... the jury walked between the hundreds of posters to chose 10 of them. None of them stayed a little bit in front of mine to look closer, so I lost hope. 
Finally, I couldn't imagine that it was because they already were sure to chose it. Many said it was the first chosen!! O_o

"A woman in colours to colour a dreary world."

I hope, you like it, too,

PS.: Mali was GREAT!! So many people, so many new experiences... irreplaceable!
