What's wrong with this picture?


Renaud Garnier Visual Branding was hired to create a template for a DVD collection in 2006, dedicated to French Artists,"Art & Movie" for Cappuccino in France.
This collection included Pierre De Michelis, Michel Bez, Michel Jouenne, Ronan Olier and more to come. 
We recently discovered that another artist, Guy Covelli, has launched a series of DVDs under a different label with a surprisingly similar look. Our design is on the top and the follower is on the bottom. We'll let you be the judge.
