Graphic design

Any number of the creations of the last twenty-five years owe a great deal to Latour’s work. It is hard to imagine some achievements existing at all without what they have learned from him.

Latour is one of those reference points that, from one place to another, punctuate the shifting road of graphic design and to which the, oft uncertain, traveller must refer to ensure his path his right.
