 This is a print done by Francois Challet and it's very telling of most designs he does. He wrote a quote for what he thinks of graphic design. "For me graphic design is about telling stories in a playful and optimistic way." Francois Challet's works are very playful, vivid and bright in image. Although the illustration of the cat could be seen in a creepy horror genre with it's human like teeth it is shown as more a pop art style by the squiggles and gagged rays behind it. The choice of color greatly effects the viewers perception. Red, white and black emcompass the majority of the cat, very attention grabbing, but then the background embellishments are of a very vivid yellow, pink and blue. With this design I immedietly thought of his last name 'Challet' and the French word for cat 'Chat'.
