Kanardo is a two headed unit based in Guethary (a surfers paradise of south west of France) specialising in art direction and graphic design for boardculture brands and companies. Our portfolio includes branding and identity, art direction and layout for magazines, curation for exhibitions and books, contemporary photography and illustrations for a various range of printed brochures and clothing…
Q:Why call yourself Kanardo?
A:It’s a question we get asked quite often. Unfortunately we’ve forgotten where the name actually comes from!
Q:What are the fundamentals of the Kanardo style?
A:Simple and coloured. We do have a favourite palette where the main colours would be C20M0Y0K0, C0M23Y0K0, C30M0Y98K0, C0M55Y98K0 and some light grey.
Q:Does your artwork reflect your personality?
A:Undoubtedly. I think that what we create represents the fact that we are autodidacts and immensely curious. Each project is a fresh challenge for us - an opportunity to test out new techniques and to learn even more. If you look at our portfolio you’ll find we take a multi-disciplinary approach - there are photographic pieces alongside vector briefs.
