Gavin Evans

Some great portrait photography from Gavin Evans on show at his website. The site design’s a little clunky and the work in parts has a very 90’s feel but worth checking out for his shots of Eddie Izzard, Gary Oldman and Tricky alone.

DESIGNINGSOUNDS™

Sound design and music for TV commercials, movies, videos and any other motion graphics.

Michael Fakesch started DESIGNINGSOUNDS™ in 2006, though his musical career began 12 years earlier. In 1994, Michael co-founded the music project Funkstörung which became world renown for their remixes (e.g. Björk, Wu-Tang Clan), being one of the first bands signed to K7 Records, and of course theiroutstanding visual collaborations (e.g. the DVD Isolated).

Since the termination of Funkstörung in 2005, Michael continued where Funkstörung left off, releasing more music on K7 Records (e.g. the album dos) and doing even more remixes (e.g. for Herbert, Bomb The Bass, Booka Shade). And as if that weren’t enough on the plate, Michael also starting dabbling in the more corporate side of things by designing sound and music for the advertising industry. In 2008, he even began giving lectures about sound design at university. Busy times!

Benoît Robert

Under the name Event10, Benoît Robert starts in 1999 as a graphic designer for independent music labels. Thus he is evolving in an underground artistic environment that allows him to get a cross-look on the visual communication area, in imposing himself progressively as a whole Art Director. Anti-conformist, his work tries to break with the style effect, the perishable, while refering to the not-established value.

He conceives the art direction and the visual identity of brands and diverse projects related to music, fashion, contemporary art, cinema. His strength lies in his ability to work with artistic and cultural institutions just as well with big advertising companies.
Being always on the look-out for new technics and inspirations, he likes to come closer and converse directly with the artists, so that he can enrich his own graphical and artistic world.
