Opposite Wall

Opposite Wall

A change of course

2023-2026
Art direction & Illustration

Five years after it was founded, Opposite Wall was still searching for its real identity. With competition growing in the frame and art print market, standing out and reaching new audiences was getting harder. That's the moment I arrived, as part of an entirely new design team. Together we took on a major shift: goodbye stock imagery and grey interiors, hello photo shoots of our own worthy of the best magazines. We also rebuilt the print catalogue from the ground up around colourful, vintage-leaning illustrations.

Process

A small team with big dreams!

On a small but deeply creative team, I had the chance to be involved at every stage of the process.

1. Concept

Working with our creative director, I planned the themes and the launch calendar for our seasonal collections.

2. Illustration

I got to fully express my love of print, illustration and typography by designing a large share of the posters.

4. Advertising campaign

Responsible for conceiving and adapting the visuals for our newsletters, our social channels and our website, I sharpened my skills in strategy and content planning.
