The Sansori talks, the reason why we are here, is where we went on Monday and it was a great moment of exchange. I guess they bring even more to me than what I can bring to them... a real exchange! I will post more about this later. Some pictures I have taken so far are uploaded for you from the Amherst campus cantine... and then some graphic inspiration after it... enjoy!

So, on july 31th, I will took a plane a plane to USA ;) It would be my first time there and I am pretty exited... I was kindly invited by Kristin Kim, founder of Sansori, to speak about my vision of Social entreprise in Amherst College (Amherst, Massachusetts, USA). I am impatient to spend a nice moment sharing ideas... We will spend some days in Amherst, and on august 05th we will fly to the other side of the country, in California, to visit Jordan Mauriello of www.moreyellow.com. I work with Jordan for almost 5 years and we only see each other via our computers... Would be nice to share some beers... So, will spend some days in San Juan Capistrano, near LA. On August 11th, we will fly back to Boston and spend some days there before coming back to Paris, and then take the train to Nîmes... Pretty long trip... Need some designers tips... and Gluten free tips...

| Support Graphic-exchanGE (revised version) |
identity / july 13th / 0:04 AM |

10 days ago, I propose you a new way to support GE. I do these "packs" as I feel shy to send only small stickers when people gave something... As a lot of people ask after these coasters, and seeing the sold out sells of the designers calendars, I thought I found the right mix to do an "exchange"... But for the moment, I get really few donations (thanks for the ones who does, items would be send next week), so I adjust these packs... The posters are back on harmonie interieure and you can get the coatsers and small stickers here...
|
|
|
|
|
|
After clicking this button, you will be redirected to the harmonie intérieure paypal page and you can give what you want. In exchange I will send you the items within a 2 weeks.
|
|
 |
The 4 coasters are limited to 100 copies each, and are letterpress printed by letteramagica, who also produce these wooden boxes. All these items are design by myself (www.fabienbarral.com) and are only available if you support graphic-exchange. Thanks in advance. |

As it is 1 AM, we are tomorrow already ;) 10 years ago, on june 30th, 2001, Frédérique and I get married... It was one of the best things that happen to me, bringing our daughter to our life... I was looking for something to offer to Frédérique, and I check our wedding album, you know that things you never really look at... And I love these 2 ones... and at this time, I had hair ;) I want to do some effect to make them look like "memories"... the 2 pictures werre taken by my friend Reno Orange ;) |

| Look who is coming home : The letterpress coasters ! |
| personal / june 28th / 04:51 PM / Nitin Sawhney |
As a lot of people ask after these sold out lettepress coatsers, so on I ask letteramagica to reprint... But I want to improve them... Now, I know you will ask how to get them... You need some more days to wait, they will be on sell exclusively on graphic exchange during this summer, as the new gift you get when you support the site... But I prepare even more things, so "stay tunes"... Some "behind the scene" images before they are cut out : |

I think the new Ben Harper album was released in France today while it will be tomorrow in other countries... why ? Anyway, it is always great to listen a new album from an artist you follow for years... The one before, with Relentless 7 is one of my favorit, and I expect a lot of this one, and for the moment... a lot of promises seems to be there... Can't have a complete idea as I only listen to first tracks, but, first feeling is positive... Have to put it on disc to listen it load in my car for sure ;) It will be great to saw him live this summer, I saw him 10 years ago I guess, and if the album are great, the man on live is even better... So, I just want to present the cushions series I am working on for the byDandB.com project... Comment them on flickr if you want to... |

| They talk about me, I talk about them |
| personal / may 10th / 9:17 PM |
I want to do a post about the blogs that talk me and my work... First of all, you can read an interview I did some weeks ago on inksie, you can learn about my creative process, and have the answer to this recurent question : what is your favorit font ? I also answer 6 shorts question at overlapps about apps I use and apps I like... Posterloft is a new blog about poster design and features some of mine (here, here, here and there) and culture vixen presents a small selection of my work. |

The D and B project took a lot of my creative time too, and here are some pictures of "Au dessus du lac" (above the lac) visual : |

| Exposition universelle 1900 - Les bords de Seine |
| personal / april 25th / 2:38 PM / José Gonzàlez |
I always have been facinated by the 1900 Paris world fair (Exposition Universelle in French). In one of the Excelsior Latin room, there is a very large room and instead of puting different visuels, I figure out I can creat something with this image I have. It shows all the different coutires houses build for the fair and that werre on the side of the Seine river... |
