First and foremost, I’m not a photographer.
In 1999 Alexis Taïeb discovered graffiti. As his first works had barely dried on the walls he knew that he had found a love for life. This love for typography became a natural guide into a new profession. And soon enough, he graduated from Gobelins in 2007 with a solid knowledge of design and typography.
Shortly after graduating, in 2008, Alexis became a freelancer with a focus on print and web design. His work in Paris was soon appreciated and applied by various Parisian agencies like BETC Euro RSCG, Publicis, DDB and Sid Lee.
For Alexis, typography is just the starting point of his work. He can handle any type of brief and works just as well on projects with strong constraints or complete creative freedom. Looking for originality in all of his work, he believes in creating engaging, modern and precise visuals that follow a simple goal: To reinvent the letter, but never lose it’s meaning. Or it’s beauty.
Avant tout, sachez que je ne suis pas photographe.
Dès 99, Alexis Taïeb découvre le graffiti et y fait ses premières armes, ses premières esquisses de lettres. De là naitra sa vocation et son amour de la typographie qui guidera naturellement son parcours scolaire. Diplômé des Gobelins en 2007, il en sortira avec un bagage solide et une connaissance approfondie de la typographie.
En 2008, il se lance à plein temps en free-lance, aussi à l’aise en web qu’en print, ses qualités et son exigence le font très vite apprécier des différentes agences Parisiennes, parmi lesquelles figurent Betc Euro RSCG, Publicis, DDB, SID LEE, etc.
Que ce soit à partir d’un brief à fortes contraintes ou d’un projet avec une totale liberté, qu’elle soit illustrative ou plus traditionnelle, la typographie est le point de départ et le centre des réflexions du travail d’Alexis Taïeb. Ses visuels précis et modernes, sont le fruit d’une recherche de l’originalité dans les compositions, réinventer la lettre sans jamais perdre son sens, ni celui de l’esthétique.
For the event Ici C’est Paname with Bleu De Paname at the parisian store Centre Commercial, I’ve made few types of different parisian districts. Thanks to cards with Ici C’est written on it, the people could stamped their own district and leave the event with their cards customised.
Bleu de Paname and I have worked together to create an exclusive t-shirt celebrating Paname, otherwise known as the city of Paris.
Centre Commercial presents the “Ici c’est Paname” video recorded in the streets of Paris, between my studio and the Bleu de Paname atelier in the northeast of the city.
