More About the Author
Product Description
The Face
"Chalet's funny pictures burn bright ... even when the subject matter is gymnastic sex, drum and bass or smutty, sphincter-focused playground humour."
Synopsis
Swiss designer Francois Chalet started as a comic artist and illustrator until he began to remodel his skills for the computer. From then on he designed flyers and album covers and his inimitable way of interweaving comic figures and modern computer graphics into stories has brightened up MTV campaigns, illustrated magazines (from Jetzt! to Harper's Bazaar), ads and websites. Francois Chalet's style has become a trademark, inspiring other graphic designers to take the creative challenge of developing a metaphorical language. The book does not only show this well-known side of Chalet, but gives insight into the working methods and ideas of graphic conceptions which often blend with his illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A chic voice, 12 Nov 2001
By Joseph Phillips - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chalet (Paperback)
You may have seen artist Francois Chalet's work already without knowing it -- he has designed the horoscope icons for `Harper's Bazaar' and has done numerous campaigns for MTV, for example the European Music Awards 2001. And if simple graphic illustrations with a European look that's influenced with Japanese design is your thing, you might want to check out some more of Chalet's work. His mathematic, bowed faces, minimalist drawings and computer illustrations are now available in this book, which not only contains examples of his work but also insights into his working methods, which is helpful for aspiring artists seeking a virginal taste.

A JEWEL of graphic design, 19 April 2001
By Fede "Federico" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Chalet (Paperback)
I wish I could show the inside of this book because by just looking at it, the design speaks for itself. The Chalet's graphic world is full of very creative and funny characters that have been made for such experimental clients as MTV. When I opened the book for the first time I was (and I'm still) amazed to see how much this guy had made with a computer. Without hesitation I give this book more than five stars and if you're a lover of the MTV style you're definitely going to cherish this book.
