• Marion Caron is a freelance graphic designer based in Paris.

    She is specialised in printed objects

    (catalogs, books,

    magazines, graphic identities, etc.)

    as well as web design.


    Each book tells a story,

    an exchange between several individuals,

    it is forged by several hands.

    From the client

    (publisher, artist, institution, etc.)

    to the graphic designer, from the graphic designer to the printer,

    then from the printer to the reader,

    the graphic chain is revealed.

    The beginnings of the object take shape

    thanks to the dialogue maintained

    between the graphic designer and his client,

    whether he is an author, artist or publisher.

    Then comes its virtual birth

    followed by its existence in the real world.

    Within the editorial chain of the book,

    each one plays a precise role,

    in particular the printer who contributes

    as much to the conception of the book

    as to the transposition of the mediums,

    from screen to ink.
