Autrement dit

 

Between you and me, there are nineteen appointments, nineteen houses, nineteen objects and thirty-eight hands, the ones that applauded my happiness, the ones that dried my tears, the ones that began to tell me stories, with open palms, intertwined fingers and jerky gestures.

oracle des rêves

 

Oracle des Rêves is the result of a collaboration in which a personal reinterpretation is made accessible to the public. This project rethinks the card, making it light, held delicately in the hand, to ultimately create reference figures, evoking spiritual statues, inviting to immersive places of meditation.

Histoire du papillon

 

This project is a reinterpretation of citrus paper. Based on a children's story, the illustrations are inspired by the motifs and codes of this packaging.

riz de vully

 

These rice bags and their design were conceived for rice produced in Vully, Switzerland. Silk-screen printed, the visuals relate to their place of production, and find their codes in the Asian style of rice-producing countries.

stubborn

 

In 2016, Stefan Brüggemann published "Showtitles", a work-in-progress on exhibition titles that he makes freely available to use as we see fit. Using the title "Stubborn" in an attempt to exhaust it visually by recontextualizing it differently, "Têtu" becomes protean.

from the mouth of the building

 

This series of political posters deals with the Chinese government's ban on Feng shui beliefs. Today, figures of resistance continue to take shape, like the Bel Air skyscraper in Hong Kong, built with a hole in the middle to allow forbidden creatures to move from the sea to the mountains (printing techniques reveal the forbidden).

Le livre d’artiste - 24/25

with Anouk Schneider Agabekov, Nicolas Polli

As part of the editorial design course led by Anouk Schneider and Nicolas Polli, second-year Visual Communication students had the opportunity to design an artist’s book during the first semester. This book project stands out for its contemporary approach, aiming to create an editorial object that harmoniously integrates form and content within today’s publishing landscape. Students were encouraged to fully embrace their artistic freedom at every stage of the creative process—whether in terms of format, paper choice, binding, layout, illustrations, text, or typography. Within this course, the artist’s book can take shape through various modes of illustration, such as photography, reproduction, contextualization, drawing, 3D, and more. The emphasis is placed on the author’s artistic vision and the means implemented to bring it to life. Students take on multiple roles as editor, curator, and architect, thereby covering the responsibilities of art director, designer, photographer, stylist, illustrator, typographer, editor-in-chief, and copy editor. This course highlights contemporary editorial design by exploring the narrative potential of a carefully constructed content sequence.

Redesign 24-25 - S1

with Giliane Cachin

As part of the course given by Giliane Cachin, 1st year students are required to produce an edition by examining the different axes that make it up. The course offers a study of various grid systems and the fundamentals of micro-typography. During the semester, students will look for the best way to structure and arrange the content they have chosen (or which has been assigned to them, depending on the semester's data). Some essential rules to know in terms of printing and bindings will be reviewed at the end of the semester, in order to bring the conceptualized object to life.

Image Creation BA1S2 – Insta Books

with Guy Meldem

In the age of social media, Instagram has become a true space for graphic experimentation. This semester, first-year Graphic Design students created a printed edition of at least 100 pages, exploring the question: what does it mean to design for Instagram? Through this investigation, they examined the platform’s visual codes, its attention-driven dynamics, and the graphic forms it inspires. Each project reflects on how these creations can be translated, extended, or reinterpreted in the digital space. Balancing printed matter and online presence, these works outline new ways of inhabiting both images and networks.
