Having the artwork of David Despau in our Year in Review truly elevated the entire experience. The art itself inspired our layout and theme for the entire edition to produce a publication that has received wide praise at our university, from our benefactors, and from many other readers. Each of the subjects portrayed was very impressed and complimented the way they were portrayed. We even needed to order a second printing of our magazine to meet the demand from our constituents. It was a true pleasure to work with David and Marie-Christine Brisson at Colagene to make this idea we had one day into a beautifully realized reality; it was a smooth process, and they were very accommodating to meet our needs as they evolved. - Keith Sayer, Communications Program Director, Nanovic Institute for European Studies, University of Notre Dame

We really enjoyed working with Zigor on a pitch for one of our clients. He brought a lot of enthusiasm and a real sense of fun to the work. As pitches go, we made discoveries along the way, and Zigor was incredibly flexible with incorporating new ideas and refining existing work. He was also great in the context of collaboration (as one has to be when working on a team).

The Colagene experience according to our clients.

Working with Aurore Danielou was a pleasure. Originally, we were looking for an illustration that would be used for the cover of our weekly paper. Unfortunately, as is common in the publishing world, our story was scooped and what was to be the cover, was suddenly relegated to an inside section. Aurore and her team at Colagene were extremely flexible and adjusted to the new constraints on the design extremely quickly. In fact, we had our final illustration way ahead of schedule! I credit that to not just Aurore’s ability but also to the fine folks at Colagene who understood what we needed and helped speed the process along. Everyone was delighted with the final results!
