Having dedicated 5 months to another project, Thomas Corre needed a refresher. He needed a 1920x15000 white page, and when found the Hermès website, he saw some really fun perspectives in there and decided to take his spin on designing the website.

I shaked ideas up & defined scope for 5 days before I actually opened photoshop. The design itself happened over a week-end. It's been surprisingly fast. I felt Hermès' current website is sometimes a bit constrained, mostly relying on videos. So I wanted to tell stories with text and pictures, allowing space, silence & scrolling. I love their illustrations, though, it's very iconic and I wanted to infuse some of it somehow.

My process was a "no-process", follow-your-guts-and-explore, even if it meant drifting away from their graphic world and lovely illustration style, I only wanted to create something sharp and modern. My style is a grid-based-shattered-Tetris-game. And it's changing. I used to buy tons of fashion & surf magazines, their aesthetics just really talk to me. Online, it's been Warp/Designers Republic, Medium, The Great Discontent, NYT & Pitchfork interactive articles, being proactive on Pinterest & Behance. I also grab a flyer in every shop & put it in a box I forget until I move flats.

My best inspiration consist of taking any plane with my girlfriend, spending the longest time far from screens & feel like a phoenix again.

Beginners, take a note, save an idea. Be restless. Work like you're insane to take-off. Soon, your craft will get pretty obvious to you & therefore to everyone else. Web & print designers, put all your content on the page, and start shaping it after. Design is structuring information that will turn to be optionally tasteful. Still, it's architecture.
