Fabien Barral & Imaginary Moments: Ink, Splatters, Surrealism and Stunning Beauty

 Fabian Barral Image 1

Fabien Barral is a French designer and proprietor of Imaginary Moments, an apt name for a design studio that manages to build stunning, surrealistic, fine art like beauty into every design project. Even Fabien’s standard marketing collateral looks like a well built oil wash painting.

But don’t think Barral only knows washed, layered imagery. He also excels in typography, and in getting his typography to dance on the page. Combine that with surgical page composition, and you get excellent type-driven designs, seen in the example below:

Below, you see another of Barral’s booklets as he continues to blend typography and composition perfectly. The book cover is minimal, with just a green label on a plain black cover. The label contains white type and furniture locked perfectly into position, while the spread (center) shows what could have been a very boring arrangement of portfolio pieces. Instead, the right page is loaded heavier than the left, while the images on the left page are in line and toward the top of the page–pushing the eye to the right, where one image is pulled out of grid to add further interest.

The final example shows more of Fabian’s paint-like illustration and decor, combined with his signature style of serif typeface:
