French-Canadian designer Julien Valée is probably pretty good at Photoshop. Let’s face it, a lot of people are nowadays. It’s nice, therefore, to see him not using it - in fact, it’s pretty much what he’s famous for, not using it. From covers for Gestalten’s Tangible (a student fave) to TV idents and animation, it’s fair to say that his computer is no more (and often far less) of a tool than, say, a pair of scissors. This video for the above recent poster shows just what I’m bleedin’ on aboot*.
*In Canada they say aboot instead of about. I learned that from South Park, a cartoon originally made with paper. what a strange cyclical world we live in.
