BOOK DESIGN
ART DIRECTION
BRANDING




Designing books (project, company, and legacy books; art, photography, and architecture books); presentations for architects and landscape architects; brand identities for projects, companies, and small to medium-sized brands and organisations related to art, architecture, or design — that is what Dawa does.
   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, Copy-Writer and Creative Director in some of the most competitive environments. On agency and client side. In Europe and Asia-Pacific.

   Do you want to know more, to discuss a project, to request a quotation, in English or in French? Please feel free to contact me (link below or send email to christophe@bydawa.com), I’ll be happy to get in touch!

A country that still invests little in infrastructure and in a fully-fledged cultural industry as it might be understood in Europe.
    This post presents photographs of the printed booklets, along with a selection of art directions from my research process…
