Zazie Books is a unique independent bookstore specializing in photo books, graphic novels, visual arts, fiction, and essays. Located in Modica, Sicily, the store also serves as a creative space for exhibitions, presentations, workshops, and talks.
As Art Director at Zazie Books, I was responsible for developing and implementing the brand identity, including designing the logo, merchandising, creating internal and external decorations and signage, and producing special visuals for social media channels, events, and exhibitions.
The concept of Zazie Books is inspired by the 1960 French film “Zazie dans le Métro” directed by Louis Malle and the 1959 novel of the same name by Raymond Queneau. Drawing from the film’s whimsical, adventurous spirit, I developed a visual identity that captured the essence of the store’s eclectic collection.
