Space news Instagram thread
From 2019 to 2021, I managed an Instagram account called @liftoffrockets about space news and facts (one of my passions). As I posted content, I was beginning to feel the will of creating the very bests visuals possibles. This account quickly became for me a place where I can experiment with visual design, always aimed at providing the best learning experience for my followers.

Acquired skills
I started making these posts on "Canva.com". But I felt like I couldn't do everything I wanted there, so I switched to Adobe Illustrator. Working on this project helped me practice a lot and learn new things. I also learned how to use Adobe After Effects to make animated content using Motion Design techniques.

Contact with Arianespace
On March 2020, I shared a post about Ariane rocket family. Following this, someone from Arianegroup (the European society that builds Ariane rockets) sent me a message to know if I would allow them to share my post on their website. It resulted in an article on ArianeGroup website sharing my content (See the article).

Work for Latitude
On August 2020, I received a message on Instagram from Stanislas Maximin, CEO of Latitude (ex Venture Orbital System). He asked me to design 2 posters of Latitude micro-launcher Zéphyr in the style of my content.
To give more context, Latitude (ex Venture Orbital System) is a French start-up from the New Space, developing a micro-launcher named Zéphyr. At this time, there was two launch complexes from where Latitude was supposed to launch its rocket: The Azores and French Guiana. The idea was to represent Zéphyr in both of these places. -
The works I am most proud of
In early 2021, I started to post less on the page because of my studies, resulting in the end of this project. In 2 years, I gathered a community of more than 2,000 space enthusiasts from everywhere on the globe (India, USA, France, Japan,...) and meet tens of wonderful persons.
Here are the works I am most proud of:
