& Graphic Design
Studio Frédéric Tacer is a French independent graphic design studio founded in 2010.
Frédéric Tacer graduated with highest honours from the National College of Arts and Design Olivier de Serres (Paris) in 2008 and worked for the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London) as an in-house designer in 2009.
The studio's output includes projects for clients in both cultural and commercial fields on a wide range of media focusing on printed matter, editorial design, visual identity, environmental design, bespoke typefaces and digital projects.
The studio strongly believes in simplicity as a key to efficiency. Its approach is defined by a constant relevance to the commission and a focus on typographic and structural details that result in thoughtful and well-crafted graphic solutions.
Please feel free to get in touch for any further information.
