"Additional video content by Julien Vallée included"--Cover.

"Julien Vallée is a virtuoso at melding a variety of analog and digital design techniques into fascinating images and magically arranged spaces. Whether moving or static, the young Canadian's incomparable visuals explore the relative roles of the computer and handmade processes in design. Vallée works in a wide range of fields, including art direction, motion graphics, print design, and art installation as well as video and design for the television industry. With his expert use of manual processes strongly supported by the technological tools of today - mainly in mixing a digital conception phase with different implementation materials, such as paper, wood, and plastic - he creates outstanding art and design that seamlessly bridges the gaps between these disciplines. This first monograph not only presents Julien Vallée's commissioned work for clients such as the New York Times, MTV, AOL, and Computer Arts, but also includes a selection of personal projects."--P.
