A lack of direction, a mad rush to include content devoid of meaning, without understanding, without a critical fi lter. Putting together a coherent overall project takes time, which is news to no one. Frequently, the fast pace at which we live makes us forget our initial intentions and wipe out the orientation we had established. And this enterprise – be it social, human or professional in nature – can, as a result, fall apart even implode, because of a lack of detachment.What form should we give to a graphic, publishing, artistic or cultural project? What importance should be given to this or that element? Why is it justifi able to use one choice rather than another? How might we explain its relationship to the parameters that condition it? There are many possible ways to lead a project forward in a meaningful direction. Chance sometimes makes things work out well, but that’s a rare occurrence.The simplicity and speed with which we gain access to information, and to content generally, have increased exponentially with the Internet. And when a piece of information, a work or a subject retain our attention in this excess of proposals, what is it that actually captures us and makes us question ourselves or our certainties? It is the why, how and with what that this item is made.The requirement of the reader, listener or visitor today is precisely that. It is in this context that pauses are recreated, that the time given to the understanding of a creative process increases, and that the choices are appreciated and justifi ed. Some bearings are sketched out and it becomes essential to dissect the links between each element and establish new ones. The participation of the individual is exponential. The brains are ticking along. Phew.Travelling from one festival to another, we aimed to discover fresh research, projects and visual works: the International Poster and Graphic Design Festival, Une Saison graphique (A graphic season) at Le Havre, and the Festival international de mode et de photographie (International Festival of Fashion and Photography) at Villa Noailles. It has been a pleasure to note that high-quality initiatives, installations and exhibitions are being created that are coherent and meaningful in terms of graphic design. We had no doubt about this beforehand but we were reassured nevertheless. The changing of the guard of graphic design is assured.

Darcel in ParisMember of the Rinzen design collective, the New York-based, Australian artist Craig Redman enjoys putting his avatar Darcel in the colourful universe that reflects his everyday life. This one-eyed character with simplified features and a monocle is the star of an exhibition entitled “And a miserable day to you, too”, at the Parisian concept store, Colette. Specially for the occasion, Redman has created several new series of illustrations attesting to his distinctive slant on artists, designers and other big names from the world of art, culture and fashion.

Enigmatic identityThe visual identity of the 27th International Festival of Fashion and Photography, held in Hyères this April, was designed by Ina Jang, one of the photographers shortlisted for last year’s edition. Commissioned by the festival, the Korean photographer’s images of the collections submitted by the ten fashion designers in this year’s contest reveal her playful and poetic approach. Jang herself describes her work as “rigorously physical”, often requiring lengthy sessions of cutting, gluing and pasting all sorts of materials.

Exploring colourWinner of the Hyères 2012 International Festival of Fashion and Photography Grand Prize, Jessica Eaton explores the possibilities of manipulating time, space, perception and the additive system of colour. After graduating from the Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, the Canadian photographer began her in-depth experiments with colour hues, exhibiting her series “Cubes for Albers and LeWitt” in 2011. Each image is constructed on 4 x 5 inch sheet film. The subject is monochromatic, either a set of cubes or grounds painted white, two tones of grey and black. The colour hues are obtained by exposing the film several times to the additive primaries (red, green and blue). The reflective value of the cubes determines the value of the final hue, whereas black is used as a reflective mask, holding potential on the film for other exposures. The end result is impressive: disconcerting works with instant pulling power. IMwww.jessicaeaton.tumblr.com

Globetrotting Brea! One of the photographers shortlisted for the 27th International Festival of Fashion and Photography, American-born Brea Souders presents “Sunburn in Naples”, a series in which she explores places in Europe where her ancestors came from or which have influenced her: feelings and desires related to a place or an occurrence (getting sunburnt), a family tradition, or an image (e.g. a postcard). Shifting between bright light and a play of transparency, Brea Souders uses global forms to create a world full of delicacy. IMwww.breasouders.com
