If I spoke better French, I would know more about Julien VallĂ©e. As it stands, all I know is that he’s a graphic and motion graphic designer based in Canada, and he does some super-cool stuff with paper and cardboard. I hope you’ll excuse the sketchy details and settle for a peek at these gorgeous pictures from his website, and the FANTASTIC little video he made for Black and White. His many talents include:
