The Personality of Parisian Neighborhoods Expressed Through Typography

in Art | April 9th, 2013 3 Comments

Havas Worl­wide Paris, a glob­al design agency, reawak­ened fond mem­o­ries of my days liv­ing in Paris. They did it by cre­at­ing this artis­tic video that cap­tures the char­ac­ter of Parisian neighborhoods/metro stops through typog­ra­phy. The Marais, Latin Quar­ter, Mont­martre, Père Lachaise, Bastille — they all get a cre­ative nod.

The video was orig­i­nal­ly cre­at­ed as a New Years Greet­ing card, and it comes to us via Pret-a-Porter.

    This is great! But I think they are refer­ring to Metro sta­tions, not neigh­bor­hoods! Barbes e.g. is a metro sta­tion, not a neigh­bor­hood!

    Then again, they refer to the Latin Quar­ter and that is not a metro stop — or nev­er was when I lived there.…
