Félicité Landrivon’s work has a clear and distinctive style, it displays a fantastic ensemble of vintage and underground imagery and type in bold colours, often referencing counter cultures like psychedelia and punk. She works with studio ‘Grrrrnd Zero’ in Lyon, does work for the feminist magazine ‘Panthère Première’ as well as a lot of solo ventures. Félicité has talked about how she believes the visibility and promotion of female designers is very important as well as how she doesn’t believe in ‘elitist design’ and simply wants her work to be fun, relatable and stand the test of time.
The first three questions on the list here are ones that I already came up with to ask Ben Arfur - these are quite broad questions and not specific to any one designer. Asking another two questions will give me the chance to demonstrate that I’ve done my research, but these questions in particular I think not only apply to the sort of context of the report in regards to covering the topics of posters and music, but also I think it would be very interesting to compare answers from different designers.
- Poster design has always been something a lot of designers are drawn to, its certainly a favoured method for contemporary designers to generate work. Do you think poster design has or will ever lose its value in an ever increasingly digital discipline?
- What personally appeals to you about designing work for musicians and music events, do you think music and and visual arts have an inherent connection?
- To what degree do you subscribe to the idea of having a ‘signature style’ - should this be sought after by aspiring designer?
Question Ideas
Collage style
Standing the test of time - vintage style
Your work has a playful and fun narrative
Your work has a distinct vintage feel
4. I read in your article on It’s Nice That that you want your work to travel time and still be relatable in years to come, do you think it’s important for the style of your work to evolve over time in order to stay constantly relevant or do you think your process will stay very much the same?
5. What appeals to you about the vintage collage style of your work as opposed to exploring something more contemporary and graphic?
