Case

Case-Study for www.Sonacom.fr

(FWA awarded web project)

This web-based project has been built for a Parisian Sound Studio in Paris called Sonacom. I had to redo the online presence of the studio. The initial brief was to create a simple site where you can only click on a sound and hear what they’ve produced.

Problem: we had to find a solution not to mention the clients, because some where competitors (like Vodafone VS Orange). Within my studio, I came to this creative solution, going in a total different direction of the initial brief.

It mixes the challenge of:

letting you entertain with the site
letting you discover the world (real & creative) of Sonacom
creating within Sonacom’s universe
letting you think Sonacom offers a personal work to you, just for you

It has also been built within my own graphical style.

During the conference, I plan to speak about the following:

Analysing my Graphical Style, 3/5 minutes
Sonacom : The client, 3 minutes
