Who I am ?

I’m Valentin Pujadas, also known as Dirtypote, a Paris-based illustrator and art director.
I started my career at BETC, where I worked as an art director for several years. This experience gave me a broad understanding of the creative and advertising industry while shaping a strong conceptual and visual approach to design.
In 2022, I became an independent creative. Since then, I’ve collaborated with leading creative agencies such as Buzzman, Rosa Paris, Babel, DDB, Saatchi & Saatchi, and TBWA, as well as studios and brands across France and internationally.
My work sits at the intersection of illustration, art direction, and brand design. I help brands create distinctive visual worlds through brand identities, logos, graphic systems, typography, and illustrations for advertising, packaging, editorial, and digital projects.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands including Google, Nike, McDonald’s, Perrier, Fnac, PMU, Le Chocolat des Français, and many others.
My visual style is colorful, expressive, and often rich in detail, but my priority is always to create a visual language that feels right for each project. Whether it’s an advertising campaign, an illustration, or a complete brand identity, my goal remains the same: to create memorable, meaningful work with a strong creative identity.
What I made ?
Illustration

I create custom illustrations for advertising, packaging, editorial, digital, and many other applications. My style can be highly detailed or more minimal depending on the project's needs, while always maintaining a strong visual identity and clear art direction.
Brand
design

I design unique visual identities, from logos to complete brand guidelines. Every project is built to create a strong, cohesive, and instantly recognizable brand. Illustration is only used when it truly adds value to the identity.
Type
design

I design custom logotypes, lettering, and typography to give every brand its own unique personality. Each creation is crafted to be expressive, timeless, and perfectly suited to its visual universe.
Selected clients
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients from a wide range of industries and backgrounds, from global brands and startups to independent projects. I approach every collaboration with the same level of care, dedication, and ambition to create something truly unique.
