Denis Mallet

Graphic Designer, Art director

London, United Kingdom
+44 (0) 759 533 5086
I am a freelance senior graphic designer, art director and fine art photographer who believes that although design is a profession, it’s above all an expression and a passion.

I was born in the south of France in 1978 and graduated in 2004 with a master of fine arts in graphic design and visual communication from the fine arts school of Toulouse. I gained my experience from tutoring in the fine arts graphic design and typography studio between 2001 and 2004 and assisting the well-known type, poster and book designers including François Chastanet, Wladislaw Pluta and Philippe Millot.

I work in the field of print and digital brand identity, packaging, book and editorial design with a special interest in typographical layout and structures by combining my knowledge of radical contrasts and sense of balance. I believe that graphic design is the one and only approach that can give an accessible, legible meaning and a strong visibility to a business.

I was working as a freelance designer in France and Poland from 2004 to 2006 and have been based in London since early 2007. I now seek a permanent position within a truly creative environment.
