LE MAGAZINE DE L'EMBALLAGE DE LUX - THE MAGAZINE OF THE LUXURY PACKAGING
HORS SÉRIE - SPECIAL ISSUE 2012

Formes de Luxe magazine is a bilingual French / English focused in the actuality of the packaging of luxury products. It is published six times a year in its paper version and it also offers several special editions. The website www.formesdeluxe.com is its digital mirror, covering additional information and publishing a newsletter every two weeks. Formes de Luxe is a brand of the group Infopro.

During my time in the ESAD Orléans, the magazine Formes de Luxe contacted the school to make a special issue with works from the students. At first the idea was to design four double pages for each section of the magazine, but after seeing the propositions from the students, they chose 8 students to design 6 sections of the magazine.

After showing them some of my sketches and illustrations, I was chosen to design the Mesure section, consisting in two double-pages of 280x280 mm in a Sappi Hanno Art Silk 115g/m2 paper.

When I think of mesure, accuracy and efficiency, I always think in complicated forms that are not part of our sensory world. I wanted to convey the effectiveness in a clear and direct way, with complex shapes that plotted the microscopic world. To represent the world of mesure, I had in mind the image of mountains and waves, becoming a powerful way to represent the complex machinary used in the mesure process, with statistics, complex and variable graphics.

The special issue was published in January 2012.
