Book design: editorial,
creative and art direction
Branding




Books, brand identities and presentations for architects, structures, projects and people connected to creation, art and culture, but also to scuba diving, the ocean and drums — my other passions — that’s what Dawa creates.
   Dawa’s not a studio; Dawa’s me, Christophe Lorvo, a Creative and Art Director, originaly educated in Applied Art and Art History in France. With battle scars to show from working three decades as Graphic Designer, Art Director, Copywriter and Creative Director in some of the most competitive environments. On agency and client side. In Europe and Asia-Pacific.
   You wouldn’t bet on my Frenchness when looking at what’s in my plate — I am a cheese and wine free specimen. But my accent gives me away. 
    This website presents a selection of work that reflects my taste for beautiful books and thoughtful layouts, for (im)pertinent ideas that challenge conventions while retaining a strong attachment to certain graphic traditions. It also highlights my approach to structuring content and developing brand narratives.

We don’t throw books away. We surround ourselves with them, we store them, we offer them, we sell them or exchange them, but we do not destroy them. Books are not brochures that will likely be recycled to produce another set of wasted brochures. They are not magazines that end in a trash can or in the restroom, beside a toilet roll.
   Books take time to develop theories, topics and ideas, to inspire, to educate, to tell stories. We keep them close at hand for reference, the pleasure of looking at them. Books and (landscape) architecture have a common destiny.
   Produced with a carefully selected premium recycled paper, the book designed for LJ-Group showcases the studio’s love for simplicity, space, nature, art, high quality materials.
