About
Jonathan Souty
Senior Graphic Designer
« The passion I have for graphic design was born during my computer science studies, a period in my life when creativity suddenly blossomed within my technical world. I still remember the precise moment when this spark ignited.
One day, while browsing the internet, I noticed how familiar the appearance of the Google search bar was, yet it didn't quite reflect my own vision. It was at that moment that I embarked on a fun experiment: I decided to personalize it. This seemingly simple task turned out to be an incredibly captivating and creative journey.
I began delving into the world of graphic design, learning the basics of typography, colors, and layout. Gradually, I also became interested in the latest web trends. The small details of that search bar became a canvas on which I could express my creativity. I changed colors, altered the background appearance of the page, added icons, and experimented with different fonts until the result was in perfect harmony with my personal taste.
This seemingly insignificant project quickly evolved into a true passion for graphic design. I started exploring other aspects of design, learning design software, and creating increasingly elaborate visual compositions. Each creation was a new adventure, an artistic journey where I could unleash my imagination.
What I discovered is that graphic design goes far beyond aesthetics. It's a visual language that can tell a story, convey emotions, and capture attention. It allowed me to blend my passion for technology with my innate creativity, creating a unique balance between art and technique.
Today, graphic design is at the core of my professional journey. It's my sensitivity to design that drives me to explore new ideas, constantly innovate, and seek harmony between form and function. Every project is an opportunity to shape something beautiful and meaningful that I am proud of. Through a simple Google search bar, I had the chance to discover this passion that changed my life. »
