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.
