LISAA Graphic Design and Communication x Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac
As part of its partnership with the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, LISAA Design Graphic and Communication reaffirms its commitment to cultural collaborations that place education at the heart of spaces dedicated to creation and knowledge transmission. Within the museum gardens, students designed a monumental and evolving collective mural, conceived as a dialogue with the public. Its pixelated visual language echoes both LISAA’s identity and the architecture of the site, creating a graphic bridge between contemporary creation and cultural heritage.
Placed at the heart of the mural, the reinterpreted Tanuki mascot becomes a symbol of unity, playfulness, and accessibility.
Beyond visual creation, this experience fostered a strong sense of community, bringing together students, faculty, visitors, and museum teams around a shared artistic process. Guided by the academic team, students engaged with real-world creative conditions, reflecting LISAA DGC’s vision of graphic design as a living cultural practice rooted in dialogue, collaboration, and exchange.
LISAA Graphic Design and Communication x GRAZIA
For Fashion Week, LISAA Graphic Design & Communication partnered with GRAZIA on an ambitious contemporary project exploring the relaunch of an iconic media brand from digital to print, while reimagining its visual and communication codes.
Students conceived and produced a series of motion design videos, designed as buzz-driven and guerrilla marketing formats, and broadcasted through large-scale projections across the Parisian urban space.
Positioned at the crossroads of art direction, visual storytelling, and fashion culture, this project explored new modes of distribution, combining visual impact, surprise, and viral potential in real-world conditions.
Double award winner at the Grand Prix of Communication, Creative and Business Schools 2025 (Gold Prize for Best Corporate Partnership and Jury’s Special Award), this collaboration reinforcesd LISAA Graphic Design & Communication’s position as a key player in the development of new forms of communication — creative, hybrid, and deeply connected to their time.
