Generique Design
Logotype for Generique Design, an industrial product design practice in Montréal. Among other project such as award-winning furniture, Generique Design engineers art installations where technology is involved.
The logotype is a clean, unubiquituous sans-serif where stroke endings have been slightly mitred to visually echo the shape of machine-engineered parts. It is stencilled to be easily reproduced on all kind of surfaces, including laser-engraved metal.
Lettering workshop: Concordia university, Montréal
Two classes of the department of Design & Computation Arts at Concordia University. (Montréal, Canada) welcomed me for lectures and hand-lettering workshops. This was later followed by an introduction to digital typeface design.
Many thanks to professor Nathalie Dumont and to her students for their participation!

Monograms
Various monograms I’ve designed in 2010.
From left to right:
- L + R Done for a wedding
- VM The brief was to make “modernist swashes”
- JB A thin and delicate design to represent its nameholder
- YY The full logotype says “The cat says Yami Yami”, hence the cat face plus the two Y
Mon mariage de rêve logotype
Art director Lorena Foucher asked me to design a logotype for “Mon mariage de rêve”, a high-class wedding planner service. All the supplies provided come from small young designers and are most of the time unique pieces.
I designed italic, curvily stenciled letter shapes to match this concept.
Aparté logotype
Aparté is a record label specialized in classical/romantic/baroque music. They foster young and confirmed talents and needed a unique, distincive mark to establish recognition and make themselves known. I chose an all-capitals letter design to emphazise the three syllabus in the pronounciation of AP-AR-TÉ, ultimately evoking the label’s singularity.
Inspire «N»
I have been asked a rather uncommon thing by Différentes latitudes, which promotes independant perfumes by young designers.
Being provided with a blind perfume sample, my task was to create a visual response to the feelings it evoked.
The scent was flourished, English-styled with a touch of seventeenth-century French classicism. An ornamented capital letter in colour was the adequate proposal for me. As to Why a capital N?, I am still looking for a rational explanation for this!
The perfumed I have been submitted is Dia by Amouage
