Member of: AIGA, USA
About the design
One
Sunday at the market, I bought a half pound of potatoes. At the bottom
of the paper sack was a little succulent one whose destiny was to end
up on a poster, not on a plate!
This play is the story of two sisters (housemades) who work for a rich family.
About the designer
Yann
Legendre, born in France in 1972, is a graphic designer and member of
the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA). After studying at the
Institute of Visual Arts, he moved to Paris to become an independent
graphic designer. Yann has developed a multiform visual approach to
graphic design that he refers to as Design Life, a concept based on
visual eclecticism and ethnographic design. He is laureate of several
national and international competitions for projects ranging from
visual identity creation to posters to books for public and private
institutions, publications, and humanitarian associations. His work has
also appeared in a variety of design reviews, most recently the French
publication, Etapes graphiques.
In 2000, Yann founded a
publication entitled Ragoo, a review encompassing a different graphic
and literary experiences from its contributing writers. Between 2001
and 2004, Yann traveled across the United States and created several
travel journals through his sketchbooks. Yann's journeys took him to
New York, California, the Arizona desert, and finally, Chicago where he
moved in 2005. At that time, Yann gave workshops on graphic design at
the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2006, Yann received the
prestigious AIGA award for the best 50 Books / 50 Covers of the year.
Also
in that year, Yann joined Tanagram Partners in Chicago, and he
continues to work for European cultural institutions. Yann's work has
been exhibited all over the world including the US, France,
Switzerland, Germany, Japan, and China.
