Graphics
Client: RTF Limoges
Date: 2003
Role: I created the logo for this local community radio station which made its debut as an illegal pirate station in the early eighties; this modern and sharp logo ironically emulates the atom-like emblem of the ORTF, the French national broadcasting body dismantled in the late sixties.
Client: Azad trio
Date: 2006
Role: Azad trio is a free-jazz act that audaciously blends pop-rock singsongs with contemporary music, its name meaning freedom in Armenian. They commisionned me to produce the visual identity of Next Door, their first album. Warmish tones, grimy textures and a desolated landscape are redolent of the melancolic theme that traverses the album.
