BRANDING



  Designing books (brand, project, company, legacy books; Art, Photography & Architecture books); presentations and templates for architects and landscape architects; brand identities for projects, companies, small to medium brands that relate to art, architecture or design, that’s 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.
   You wouldn’t bet on my Frenchess when looking at what’s in my plate – I am a cheese and wine free specimen. It is more obvious with my accent and hopefully with my tangible dedication to quality. This website showcases a selection of meaningful projects where shine my love for design, layout, books, stories, for (im)pertinent ideas, my know-how in content structure and brand narratives...

LEGACY BOOK

Industry:
Real Estate
257mm x 386mm
152 pages     Located in Kuala Lumpur, designed by Thriven, Lumi Tropicana is an ambitious high-end, mix-use real estate project introduced as a lifestyle brand. Within an elaborate communication plan to attract investors, a massive coffee table book illustates the developer’s experience, pride, vision (address the affordable luxury segment) and aspiration (set a new standard in residential hospitality).
   Books are synonymous with storytelling. They share knowledge. Document a legacy. Where magazines and brochures tend to feel transient and disposable, books feel durable. They speak of quality and longevity. A coffee table-style book, complex and weighty, produced with carefully selected paper stock, hand-crafted hard covers, and a book binding technique that’s stood the test of time, conveys a feeling of genuine craftsmanship, quality and care. It provides an opportunity to tell the Lumi story in full, producing something concrete and long-lasting, something able to stand as testament to Thriven’s vision.
   The layout is inspired by the principles of perfect layout developed by the ancient book design masters.
