Who am I?
Serguei Tchepik, 360° Freelance Art Director, since May 2005, born in August 25, 1979 in Kiev, former USSR. I live in Paris since 1993. Regarding education, I‘ve got a Masters degree in Visual Communications at Créapole in 2005 (yes, the dates of the beginning of my activity as a freelancer are the same, it is normal).
What do I do?
360 ° implies a certain flexibility, but if I say "everything", it will just demonstrate a lack of humility. So first things first. Here is my website : http://www.sergueitchepik.fr
I can design any graphic identity of a commercial entity (event, business, artist, person, thing, product etc.).. I also can adjust the existing graphic ID to something new, but recognizable by the already existing customers. As for the web, I can design and build a site from A to Z (vitrine, e-shop, or community website ), from scratch, according to the constraints of the W3C (or not, because I'm not a Taliban). I am always looking for new technologies or new discoveries to facilitate or optimize the process of creating Web communication tools, I am "in" concerning what is or will be soon used in webdesign. 3D, animation and video are also part of my skills. I happen quite frequently to use i3D in print (when, for example, the visual needed for production is not available and the client's budget isn’t big enough to hire a photographer.). I am also interested very closely to the 3D applied to webdesign (Away 3D), which for me is an underestimated technology. 3D and video are often linked together, so I learned how to edit a video and the use of special effects in various projects. The 2D animation (cartoon or not) is also a part of my field of work. This involves both the creation of "Full Flash" sites and video clips or cartoons.
Who trusts me?
As I said above, 360 ° implies a certain flexibility, so my current customer base is very broad. This means that I am equally capable of understanding the problem of a coffee shop, whose image is to create virtually "from scratch", as a large account, whose fame is no longer at all to do. My clients, past or present, are : Asahi Breweries Ltd., L'Oreal, Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione, Vivienne Westwood, Cacharel, COEF, BGP, communication agencies such as RGB Publishing, to name a few.
