BBC StoryWorks Blancpain

I was contacted by the BBC Storyworks team to illustrate an immersive timeline for the Swiss watchmaker Blancpain. It would have to show the most important steps in ocean exploration and scuba diving from its early days to today. The idea was to scroll on the page and dive further and further into the ocean. Magical!

In terms of illustrations, these would need to represent the facts listed in a concise way but also the high-end luxury watchmaker client, Blancpain. So not too much shadings, some clean lines, with a light touch of poetry.

The Deep Ocean theme with its magic and mystery was such a joy to illustrate! They literally are the last unknown universe on our planet. Fauna, flora, there is so much to explore in the illustrations, to dive into the lines.

On a more personal side, my dream job when I was little was to be an underwater archaeologist. I had the chance to spend a full week with the first French underwater archaeologist Mr. Bonnamour for an internship and it was fabulous. I knew I could bring this magic to the project!
