Guillaume Berga

For El Café Latino magazine, I act as an artistic advisor and graphic designer. I occasionally create visuals for print editions, propose artistic directions, and also produce motion graphics to enhance the magazine's content on social media. This versatile role allows me to combine consulting, graphic design, and motion design within a dynamic editorial environment.

As Artistic Director at Éditions Actes Sud jeunesse, I oversaw the graphic design of children's publications, managing the creation of approximately one hundred books annually. I was responsible for selecting and briefing illustrators, rigorously monitoring their work, and conducting constant artistic research to maintain graphic quality and originality suitable for a young audience.

My role also included creating motion graphics for social media and producing video edits to enhance book visibility and promotion. Working closely with teams of graphic designers, editors, press, and sales departments, I contributed to developing strong and coherent visual identities. Furthermore, I actively participated in youth book fairs, fostering connections with illustrators and exploring new editorial projects.

As a graphic designer at Éditions Actes Sud, I developed comprehensive expertise in photogravure, the graphic chain, and graphic design. My work as a photogravurist included scanning, photo retouching, color correction, preparing cromalin proofs, and film output for printing. This technical mastery ensured optimal quality for print visuals.

Concurrently, I designed layouts for children's books, ensuring the page layout and graphic consistency of publications. I also created various communication materials such as POS displays, posters, booklets, and magazine advertisements, as well as booths, to promote books and editorial events. This versatility provided me with a holistic view of the graphic process, from conception to production, while collaborating closely with editorial and sales teams.
