Help me to see what impact has ffffound and "La dame en noir"
personal / february 28th / 11:10 PM
 

ffffound became in some years one of the main reference... I know have 9000 people following my ffffoound and I just write about this because one of my sticker was publish on front page and I still have no idea how this happen...


 

But it is impossible (I guess) to know what are the impact of a publication on ffffound... Would you help me ?

If you arrive on this site and want to help me to estimate this impact, please just click on www.harmonie-interieure.com and I will see how it increase the traffic on my stats...

Beside that, I have put new visuel creations on flickr, including "La dame en noir" I am really pleased with :

On the roofs of Paris
personal / february 15th / 10:57 PM
 

A new creation for one of the room of the Excelsior hotel I am decorating with Laurent... Based on a photos made by Laurent from the top of the hotel view on the roofs of Paris, then an idea, a simple direction given by Laurent "What about puting some old ballons in the sky"... and this is it ;)

You have to find a smiling cat, a man on a strange bicycle, a bat & some mushrooms... Pick them on the larger version on flickr and leave your comments...

Fabric prints
personal / february 12th / 11:85 PM
 

I spend the last days in Paris in the hotel I am decorating for Laurent, the Excelsior Latin hotel... We spend a lot of hours in his workshop to print the first visual I design on fabric and see how it looks... We print very large prints (3m x1,5m) that will go in rooms of the hotel. The quality of colors is amazing... AMAZING...


So, here come a picture of myself in front of the print to let you see the size...

We will also do cushions, this ones are based on the coasters designed last year...

Thanks a lot for the very constructive feedback I get, specially the one from Damien, I am happy to promote him here as he help me so much without waitting for anything in return...

End of a project, start of a new one...

So, in few hours (or minutes), the calendar's sale will be closed. It is thus time for me to present images of the new project I am working on...

These are varied visual explorations, that will be printed on fabrics for home decoration. I never have produced so many visuals in so little time, and this is just a start... I published them on flickr ;) This is the result of my encounter with Laurent, who wants me to design rooms for his Paris hotel...

The picture underneath is just one of them, there is a lot more to see on flickr, and please please comment on them, we need to know what you think (and be constructive, because even it is always nice read "wow", or "great dude" it is hard to really now what you think ;)

Letterpress calendar (again)...
personal / january 27th / 0:03 AM / Adèle 21
 

So, it is time for the results of the letterpress calendar project. The original idea was to pre-sell them, without any idea of whether or not it would work. The only promotional tools I have are this blog and my other websites (www.fabienbarral.com, www.harmonie-interieure.com, cargo, behance, flickr). I hoped that it would result in a snowball effect. No Twitter, no Facebook. I'm don't really have time to be on them...but as I see the number of visits coming from Facebook, I may change my mind...

I first mentioned this project back in October and it went up for pre-sale in November. Of the 300 copies produced, we wanted to sell at least 200 and use the other ones for self-promotion as well as gifts for clients as well as friends. Of these remaining 100 copies, 30 of them are special (and I'll talk about that later, I promise) Finally, after seeing all the demand, we have already sold 230 copies; and since we have sold more than we originally set out to sell, we have 22 copies left...

What surprised me the most is that we are shipping them all around the world. There were a lot of orders from Germany (why, I'm not sure), France (of course), the United States, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. We also got orders from New Zealand, Thailand, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and India! It's amazing how small the world can seem when you have a website, it amazes me every day.

All of this motivates me to do more projects like this in the future. I have actually started a new big project with less letterpress this time around. This allows me to have more fun with layers and textures in Photoshop ; ) You can view the first images here, on flickr. Any feedback is welcome. 

So, here are the latest images (which were used in the final promotion for the product which aimed more at getting it published in a book or blog. Remember the snowball effect). Lastly, if you want one of the last 22 copies, its now or never since we won't be reprinting these ; )

Letterpress calendar updates : at last !!!
personal / january 18th / 4:17 PM
 

At last, we get the calendars and during the last 2 days, we have to do all the packages... As we said, orders done before december 25 will get extra cards... So, I am very pleased to have them in hands, it is a very nice feeling...

After numbering each of them, we put them in boxes... A lot of them are going to France, USA, Germany, Spain, Italy, UK and other European country, but we even have orders from Taiwan, South Africa, Brazil, New Zealand, India or Indonesia... Always amazing how the world is small with a web access ;)

We still have some copies for sell, around 30 copies left... So, if you want your copy, it is now or never... I have of course keep copies for myself, and these are a little special... will show you why another day...
