Description
Classic example of “Less is More”
Squeezing as many elements as possible into a design or artwork doesn’t always make them more interesting. Many would argue that too much detail can become overwhelming and detract from the viewers focus. Hence, minimalist design wherein all the superfluous components have been stripped away, leaving only the essentials.
But minimalism is a lot more than just clean, simple, functional, using only a two-colour palette and a basic grid. Clients, and sometimes viewers, too, have a tendency to under-rate the amount of work that goes into a minimalist piece, being unaware of the many hours it often takes to decide what to put in and what to leave out for maximum impact. Here, 11 top exponents of the style tell you how it is done.
