brochure - Digital Deluxe

For over ten years, Digital Deluxe’s designers have been
imagining all kinds of stories and inventing media forms
to reach and engage targeted audiences.
Digital Deluxe was founded in Arles (southern France) in 2002 by four creative associates
coming from different fields - graphic arts, interactivity and exhibition design.
Gambling on a move outside of Paris to pursue their professions, within five years
they successfully reached their original goals. The company established strong product
development methodologies, internal management and a network of technical partners
and contractors… to produce original, communicative user-interfaces and contents
for its clients.
Each project team is guided and supervised by artistic directors Elizabeth Guyon
and Patrick Poisson.

Experimenting

Elizabeth Guyon
Art director,
Exhibition and Interactive
content Designer
[email protected]
My “environments”, or these contentmedium-interface systems, are deeply
rooted in engaging audiences on new levels.
I experiment in altering the perception,
questioning the status and role of the
visitor as both an individual and as a part
of a collective. By focusing on both the active
and passive aspects of the encounter, I
create new relationships between the visitor
and the environment which produce
a clear direction in the experience.
Although my objectives are educational,
my work is often based on artistic
- more than pedagogical - premises.

Why didn’t I go
with the valueadded routine?
Patrick Poisson
Art Director,
Graphic and Interactive
Designer
[email protected]
In articulating and launching each communication
strategy into today’s media market, I look for the
most pertinent relationship between a content, a
brand, a product and its public. With each new
project, as a typically over-stressed and demanding
Art Director, I (and surely my clients) constantly ask
the same question : “Where is my value-added?”
and my answer is invariably the same : “My
approach to design!”. Design is an art in finding
the right balance between intentions and
constraints. This principle can be applied to every
aspect of creativity : the analysis, conception,
structure, information, image, graphic, ergonomics,
interactivity… With this orchestration in mind, I
produce tailor-made strategies with creativity and
high quality. Each technological and design choice
favours simplicity.

About
Medmultimed
Medmultimed is a
mediterranean
network of
multimedia
organisations
based in the PACA
(Provence-AlpesCôte d’Azur) region,
whose primary
activities are to create
and distribute digital
arts products and services for
cultural, educational, tourism, and professional
purposes through all types of media (e.g. web,
telephony, cd-rom, dvd, etc.)
Digital Deluxe has been a member of
Medmultimed since the inception of this
non-profit in 2003. At the behest of the
founders, Bertrand Bigay and Yann Le Fichant,
Elizabeth Guyon has spear-headed a strategic
planning and communication mission a) to
define the action plan and functions of
Medmultimed, b) to identify and bring together
a network of partners c) to establish a
communication strategy, and d) to develop the
membership.
In January 2006, following the annual General
Assembly, the members of Medmultimed elected
new officers : Vincent Deruelle (President), Eric
Mazoyer, Jean-Marc Subra, Philip Belhassen and
Patrick Poisson (Vice President PACA west) with
a mandate of promoting Medmultimed and
building its network of partners in the region
around Arles.
