Interview with Matthieu Roussel
Q. Your work “Juicy Head” is totally different from your other works. Can you tell us in brief about the making of this image and what problems you have faced?
Yes you are right; this is a Canadian ad agency (DDBO) which wanted an illustration for own promotion.
The art director sent me by mail a sketch of the idea, and I start working very quickly. In a morning time I realize the head, the top part of the juicer and fixed the point of view. I made a speed render and send it to the art director
From this start the ad director made a photo of a guy in the good position and sends it to me back. The most difficult was made and I just made some changes and adjustments for the ugly white spots… this job wasn’t very difficult to do.
Q. How much you enjoy creating an image/illustration for the magazine? Any special thing required keeping in mind while doing this type of stuff?
I’m a curious person, so each new work is a challenge for me. Innovation is very motivating for me...I love to do different things... The thing keeping in mind when I make an illustration, is to hear very attentively the need of the client, and the public for who I will make this illustration. By example for an adult magazine I have to make an adult style, even if my style is a toon style...I have to find a balance between my pleasure and the client need. If I respect that, it works most of the time.
