MARJORIE BIAUNÉ*

*22 years old | Master2 - Graphic design | ÉSAD Pyrénées, Pau

Interested in programming languages and open source software, I exploit the flexibility of these tools to create functionalities according to needs. Looking for a more ethical and open design, which meets the needs of the user/reader, I multiply my techniques and supports: website, poster, fanzine, portfolio, web to print edition. My work is accompanied by a curiosity for the ways of thinking and the values that develop in digital culture, thus, I position myself as a liberated, free web designer.

A handmade logic present in graphic design on the Web 2023 - 2024 Web design

My thesis focuses on the presence of an handmade logic in graphic design within the Web and examines the influence of digital tools on the creative process of graphic designers. I highlight the importance of the graphic designer’s choice of tools and the ability to appropriate them while providing a definition of graphic design to highlight reflection and technique as two major characteristics in graphics. By technique, I mean, having a conscious practice of design, and therefore of its tools and their usefulness. I take a step aside on the use of private software, to focus mainly on free software and the practice (niche) of designer-hacker. Some designers are turning away from the constraints of traditional tools to create their own solutions, becoming hacker-designers. This leads me to talk about the place of programming languages in graphic design, more precisely creative coding, where we find this aesthetics of handmade logic. I have many examples, where, designers-hackers-amateurs develop a practice that is similar to a way of thinking, a way of designing and a spirit of sharing. The tool becomes a means of freeing creativity, beyond the constraints imposed. This approach allows to reinvent the relationships between design, programming and creative tools, thus offering more freedom and creative control in the digital environment of the Web, which I call decentralized self-production.

Manifestes ! 2024 Workshop

Reveal. What does this word evoke for you? The desire to show, highlight, denounce... Well, this is the subject we addressed during these three days of Workshop. We asked 5 students to produce a collective web to print edition using free tools, allowing them to work on both coding and layout concepts. The challenge was to create a manifesto in which graphic and textual elements would come together, all resulting from an exploration of the city. Photos, sketches or even videos, the collection of graphic corpus was offered to each of them, as well as a theme for which they wished to demonstrate.

Bachelor thesis 2023 Web design

My thesis focuses on the contributions that minimalism can have within web design, with on the one hand a critique of the templates offered by large firms like Wix or Behance and on the other hand a highlighting of websites with brutalist, radical, sometimes even amateur. The web version offers a two-level reading experience, the current text on the computer screen and the iconography on mobile, with an “Appendices/References” section when reducing the window size.
