World Standards Day poster 2007
About the artists : Pascal Krieger and Pierre Granier
Pierre Granier (left) and Pascal Krieger (right) cycle to work separately – but worked in tandem to create the poster for World Standards Day 2007.
Pascal Krieger and Pierre Granier are well used to combining their talents since they work together as graphic artists in the Communication Services department of ISO Central Secretariat.
Pascal Krieger, of Swiss nationality, is the "senior partner" with 25 years' service. With a background in print publication, he has been responsible over the years for the design of many ISO promotional and informative publications. He is also a talented cartoonist and practitioner of Japanese calligraphy – the latter explaining the bold strokes that are part of his trademark.
Pierre Granier, who is French, has been with ISO since 2001. His background leans more towards the information technology side of graphical art and publication, which has allowed him to mentor Pascal in the migration from pen, crayon and scalpel towards IT-assisted design.
As often, on the World Standards Day 2007 poster, their skills and experience were put to work effectively in a complementary manner.
Outside the working sphere, their life styles are also complementary:
- Pascal is a long-time and highly qualified adept of Japanese martial arts, while Pierre has practised a number of sports (rock climbing, mountain biking and running).
- Both are married and have children – and neither of their households has a television.
- Both cycle to work!
