Anne-Marie Pappas
Her many years of experience as a graphic designer and art director in leading international advertising agencies give Anne-Marie a comprehensive understanding of brands and customer needs. She has a Bachelor of Arts HES-SO in Visual Communication with a focus on Graphic Design from the École Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne. Anne-Marie is not only able to translate given ideas into illustrations, but also likes to develop her own concepts based on a briefing. She is able to work quickly and adapt flexibly to different layouts, formats and media without compromising the quality of her illustrations. Futhermore, she finds it easy to seamlessly integrate her work into an existing corporate design.
Anne-Marie has a wide range of techniques and styles. Her repertoire includes hand drawings, scribbles and doodles as well as the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Rush) and Procreate and Vectornator on the iPad. Her style ranges from vector graphics, isometric designs and flat illustration to minimalist illustrations, 2D and 3D simulations and hidden object images.
Anne-Marie is also multilingual in French, German (including Swiss German) and English and has basic knowledge of Greek. This enables her to communicate and work internationally - and yet there is no language with which she can express herself as well as with the illustration: "It's a language that everyone understands!"
Her projects include, among other things, the development of a corporate design modular system for Signal Iduna and campaigns for PwC. Anne-Marie helped design a concept for complex illustrations for the AI center of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. She creates complete visual languages for various brands and products, including the music label Senso Sounds, the Holy Taco restaurant and Taucherli chocolate packaging.
In parallel to her work as an illustrator, Anne-Marie works as a graphic designer for the cultural sector. There she designs covers, posters, merchandising and various communication media for various music labels based in Germany, France and Turkey. She often combines illustration and graphic design in her work, e.g. to design an album cover, develop a key visual for an event, a memory game for the Turtle Foundation or an infographic for Astra Zeneca. Anne-Marie also created a modular illustration kit to complement Signal Iduna's corporate identity.
