Independent designer since his degree under the direction of Roman Cieślewicz, Gilles Poplin is an art director and typeface designer. He commutes between brand identity and editorial design (broadcast, magazine and interface design). He founded his studio based on this expertise and by gathering around him the array of skills he met during fifteen years. His interest in typography and typeface design is a key feature in his vision of graphic design. In this respect, he designed 11 strongly graphic display typefaces for the “02” contemporary art magazine with Sylvia Tournerie. After teaching graphic arts and art direction, he is now the director of the design school ESAG Penninghen.
