Across

Across is a poster created for a digital art festival dedicated to the rock art of the Helan Mountains in China. The poster is printed on lenticular material. One image shows the original Helan Mountain motif and the other shows a modern digital version of the same motif. As the viewing angle changes, the ancient motif fades and the digital motif appears. The traditional image was painted with a mixture of ink, tea, gelatine and gold powder, applied by splashing to create a texture similar to rock. Across aims to preserve and share an endangered ancient culture.

Archadia

Archadia is a brand identity created for a higher education school of architecture based in Venice, Italy. The symbol is a stylized letter A, split into two solid volumes to suggest both stability and movement. The letter A stands for the brand name and also for academy, architecture and abitare, the Italian word for living. The form is built from an equilateral triangle inscribed in an isosceles triangle. The blue color reflects the institutional role of the school and the water of the Venice lagoon. The vector logo works on light and dark backgrounds.

Wind Art Museum

Wind Art Museum is a logo created for an art space in Xi'an that combines on-site creation, art exhibitions and aesthetic education. The mark is built from the Chinese character for beauty, which serves as the main memory graphic. Varying line thickness makes the character appear to be blown by the wind, linking the form directly to the name of the museum. The design was produced with computer graphics. The intent is a simple and distinctive symbol that expresses the character of the museum and remains easy to recognise and recall.

Gung Ho

Gung Ho is a cover illustration created for the French deluxe edition of the comic series Gung Ho. The artwork avoids the drawn black outline used in most comics and applies a cut-out collage approach that keeps the image clear. Silhouettes are treated with colour to create an expressionistic impression that supports the tone of the story. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic southern Europe where survival depends on fortified settlements. The image captures a moment of danger, youthful courage and released teenage adrenaline. The digital artwork was made with a graphics tablet.
