WHAT MORE
- "Doing more with less" is a philosophy that I try to apply in my personal life as well, by avoiding to get unnecessary things or become dependent on them. I believe in less consumption, not so much for ecological reasons, but for my own liberty of mind.
- I'm not walking out yet. I have been doing Tango dance (Argentina Tango) for about 6 years now, and so most of my free time is dedicated to this. Good to know: a "Tanguero is someone who listens/makes tango music", a "Milonguero is someone who dances tango", as my teacher says. I would like to share with you what I believe is the best dance couple: Sebastian Misse y Andrea Reyero. A quick glance on them Here (Youtube video). Enjoy it!
- Speak out:
- I speak French and English with an obvious accent of the first language. Under the effect of "cachaça", I dare to speak Portuguese.
- I am frustrated and ashamed for not speaking Dutch. In some contexts I stammer, I know it is not a language — but talking about it, help me to be rid off it ISA (International Stuttering Association)
- Trivia:
- I like to play with words this is part of my fun in my daily life — I can't help it! — I do it almost automatically and I'm cheeky enough to put some of my fun here online (Google Plus)
"I am seeking to make information simple and clear"
"I am not a guy who do everythings, I trust in collaborative work and the expertise of others"
NAHA,WHAT? NAHA is simply my name acronym, composed from the firsts couple of letters of my first name and surname — NAthan HAddad — and accidentally, as you may know, it is also the capital of Okinawa in Japan, known as the city with the most long-lived and healthy people on earth... Far from Japan, I was born in Germany, grew up partially in North Africa, and at the age of eight I moved to Europe to end up in Belgium where I live now. The experience of living in so many different countries has made me a very open, adaptable and naturally empathetic listener (I believe!). As I far as I can remember I have always been drawing. Very early on, at primary school, when I was a young kid, often teachers would ask me to draw some designs for the class courses - one day I became very famous among my mates for designing a big poster of a spider with its eight legs sitting in the middle of its web (Terrific, to say the least!). Naturally, I went on to enroll in Design Art schools later... CONCRETELY So, from the spider net I ended up on the Web myself to explain my design approach: I believe in a clear understanding of a project and good communication with my partners or my clients. I always start a project with extensive graphic research that begins with paper and pencil to create something unique and meaningful that can tell a story. I'm seeking to make things simple and clear by "Doing more with less". This is not a reductive statement but a way of working that results in powerful design solutions - the beauty of a design solution should appear as an evidence without pastiche. I'm a graphic designer who does design work for a Web not a Web designer (ref. Tango). I'm not a guy who does everything — I trust in collaborative work and in the expertise of others. You would hire me because I can do something that you can't — so do I. I'm reliable and dedicated to my project from the beginning to the end and ready to be challenged on my method of work. IN THE BEGINNING Apart from the references selection that you can see on my Website, I would like also to share with you some previous online campaigns that I have done before Web 2.0, social media and so on and so forth. I design, since early 2000, with my dear and smart partner Frédéric Mignon (Project Manager at Info-grafic) for all Belgian websites of the car maker Peugeot: Apart from wheels, I have also designed some of the main Belgian governmental portals and Web campaigns, such as:
And some other extra projects for a variety of sectors: |
