Alexandre Poulin 
La somme des êtres aimés


Concept, Art Direction, Graphic Design and Type Design for La somme des êtres aimés [The sum of loved ones], the sixth album of Alexandre Poulin. 

The entire creative approach for the album is inspired by the primary reason behind its creation. Alexandre experienced the loss of his father after a battle with cancer. Time, in this context, encompasses everything—life, death, mourning, memories, the future, light, darkness, waiting, rhythm. It is cyclical, fleeting, slow, fast, calculated, and sometimes seemingly non-existent. There's a certain poetry we aim to celebrate in this profound theme—a poetry that at times eludes us, liberates us, and inhabits us. Viewed through a colorful lens, Time also embodies an energy, a radiation with a broad spectrum of creative, conceptual, and surprising possibilities.






The wood pencil texture blends multiple vibrant colors that represent our aura—the energy field, the colored emanation enclosed around our body.







Crafted letters that convey an editorial and poetic approach, to resonate with the thoughtfull lyrics of the main theme of the album.



Editorial design for the CD booklet and memorablia collage for the CD sleeve.







Title cards design for short 30-seconds videos of the artist promoting his songs before the official release of the album.

Each typography encapsulates the emotion conveyed within the lyrics and translates it into the beautiful shots directed by Léa Dumoulin.
