Chandoline is a proposal to reuse the former Chandoline hydroelectric power station in Sion in the Alps. The idea is to transform the site into a bottling plant for the water previously used to generate electricity. The project establishes the typography and visual identity of this unique mineral water brand. The typeface consists of a cut regular and an italic to the left, whose shapes are inspired by the fluidity of water and the tubular aspect of penstocks. As for the visual identity, it's made up of a corpus of shapes that refer to the falling and rotating movement of water, as well as to the industrial aspect of the site.

BA GRAPHIC DESIGN
with Adeline Mollard
During the visual identity course, the 1st year of the Graphic Design bachelor had to carry out a poster project from a random event. They had to define their own visual system and explored a search for hand-made typographic posters. The visual identity of the event was developed through a poster and a flyer, accompanied by a research notebook grouping their entire creative process.
