Étapes is a bimonthly French magazine about graphic design, image and creation.
It covers everything to do with visual communication, whether in print or multimedia, and offers readers a panorama of the latest developments in visual culture and international graphic design: posters, publishing, typography, visual identity, packaging, websites, 3D, advertising news and professional opinions.
The cover
Through an illustrative universe, this illustration symbolises the journey of aspiring designers: from discovering the fundamentals to developing their artistic identity. The cover is designed as a metaphor for progression, where each stage, each challenge, is an opportunity to grow and go further.
Bézier curve, Adobe Illustrator pen tool, reminder of the InDesign layout grid, young diploma hat, various and varied instructions, purple for creativity, pink for youth and playfulness. There’s a lot of winking in this illustration.
