Over the last few years, Playground studio has given a voice to the dynamism and warmth that are the trademark of La Mad Jacques, a community that advocates environmentally-friendly travel without missing out on a good atmosphere and a chance to connect with others. Bright colours, clean lines and, above all, a great deal of pleasure in the crafting of these graphics take us on a unique adventure that reflects those offered by the collective.

It's that time of year again... But Bruno Mangyuku is keeping the summer spirit alive with his poetic approach to the latest cover of Le Un newspaper. His subtle style gently introduces the themes of the new literary season, embodied naturally and simply by the cover's star figure. A fine work on the character that allows the reader to identify with him, and drift away for a second before getting back into the swing of life once and for all.

Summer is on! We're sailing away for a few weeks with this beautiful illustration by Kim Roselier for Don du Vent, a boat setting off from Marseille. We shall be back in September with a series of exciting projects to unveil!

In this collaboration with the Belgian Weerts Group, Jean-Michel Tixier illustrated the logistics, motorsport and renewable energies sectors in which the brand specialises, with fineness and a touch of humour. The challenge was met with a tip, but still in line with the artist's style, drawing on the codes of Belgian comics, with a particular hint of the character of Michel Vaillant, the racing driver who has left his mark on many childhood memories in Belgium and France.

The story takes place five years after Return of the Jedi and twenty-five years before The Force Awakens, and follows the adventures of a Mandalorian mercenary beyond the territories controlled by the New Republic... Following the release of the final season of the series produced by Disney, Bruno Mangyoku took great pleasure in creating a poster of his vision of the Mandalorian, to share with all fans of the Star Wars saga.

On the cover of the supplement to the special BOOKS edition of the Guardian, Debora Szpilman fills a full page with lovers of literature.

Stefan Glerum has once again designed the poster for the Lente Kabinet Festival in Amsterdam, which each year welcomes a selection of international artists, DJs, visual artists and performers. His distinctive style, with its mix of Bauhaus and Italian Futurist influences, has graced this event for almost 10 years!

As a regular feature in the various titles of the So Press group, Jules Le Barazer has once again enhanced the media with his audacious pencil stroke, capable of conveying a wide variety of unusual subjects with a sense of humour and playfulness. For So Good, he has taken on a wide range of subjects, such as scientific data collectors feeding public databases from their phones on a passionate and no-profit initiative, or the sexuality of the elderly, which seems to be thriving a lot more than it seems. On the sports front, Jules has also created a slightly caustic but always witty illustration for So Foot, addressing the subject of Wikileaks and bitter fans who like to change the biographies of their hated players at will.

For the third year running, Playground is responsible for publicity at the LV Foundation's Family Festival. The family, as pop and colorful as ever, has grown, and we're delighted to discover the new members, who are resolutely graphic and gently crazy.

To mark the 10th anniversary of Wanderlust in Paris, American rapper Action Bronson has taken control of their kitchens, offering a street food menu in the tradition of his famous "Fuck that's delicious". The Parisian club asked Jean André to revisit their logo and design the entire identity for the event, based on Action Bronson's nickname "el crocodilo".

Jean-Michel Tixier is continuing his collaboration with the Eric Bompard brand with a visual for the French Open tennis tournament. His elegant clean lines evoke the subtle balance between sport and style, which may be fragile, but is definitely the order of the day at Roland-Garros!

We are delighted to announce the forthcoming opening of the largest Jean Jullien exhibition, which will run from 30 June 2023 at the MIMA Museum in Brussels.

Playground worked with Tiffany & co on their #reasonstosmile charity project. The result is a superb animation that takes us on a journey with a little jasmine flower carried by the wind. It's a joyful journey through the hustle and bustle of New York City!

Netflix has asked Antoine Corbineau to design the poster for FYSEE TV 2023. With his usual eye for detail and composition, Antoine has created a scene bursting with the streaming platform's biggest hits of the year.

Stefan Glerum created an illustration series for M le magazine du Monde, accompanying an article on the new Hollywood writers' strike. Drawing inspiration from propaganda posters and Constructivism, he chose he chose to represent in the opening the figure of the writer, leading the uproar, climbing script stairs, armed with a typewriter and an oversized pen!

Each week, Le Un offers a different perspective on a topical issue. In the middle of a strike period and just a few days before May 1st, they asked Julien Pacaud to illustrate the front page of their feature on counter-powers. They ask: "How is it that the land of Montesquieu (...) is today one of the democracies where counter-powers have the greatest difficulty in making themselves heard?

The Bronx agency called on several artists, including Kim Roselier, to communicate the 23/24 season of L'Opéra Comique in Paris. These very graphic posters play on the repetition of a key element of each piece, subtly illustrated by Kim.

Alexis Tyrsa designed the titles for each episode of SWARM, the new mini-series created by Janine Nabers & Donald Glover. In an "analog" approach, the series having been shot entirely on film, Alexis imagined for each episode a custom title created by hand, whether drawn with chalk, painted with watercolors, acrylics or cut out of paper.
