OBJET, BESOIN, DÉSIR (object, need, desire)
Institutional poster for the School of Industrial Design, University of Montreal (1997)
The subject of this poster explores the connection between designer, design product, and consumer. The dog bone, along with the words OBJET, BESOIN, DÉSIR (object, need, desire), and their definitions, refer to Pavlov's famous theory on conditioned reflexes, a concept long understood — unfortunately, by advertising and marketing.

SEEDS OF PEACE: the Healing Power of Dialogue (2012)
This international competition was part of the larger Social Design Poster project, aiming to create value by developing dialogue on important topical issues and, at the same time, spreading the culture of graphic design.
The purpose of dialogue is to understand others — not just to share our independent views. As such, in this poster, each character (cat and dog) speaks the other’s language, a first gesture of goodwill, symbolizing understanding, respect, and tolerance.
Selected poster in the international competition Social Design Poster, Italy, 2012
