There was something special about the cover of the programme of the 70th edition of the prestigious film festival in Cannes. All 34,000 offset printed brochures are unique. Graphics designer Phillipe Savoir, together with printer Art&Caractere in Toulouse, made small changes by hand to each of the programmes which makes them unique. They worked with different directions and different print plates and the colours were mixed to achieve tones of red, orange, pink and violet.
