Description
Mono-Graphics Issue
Neither “nostalgia” nor “minimalist” — though it has a lot in common with both styles — mono-graphic design is best defined by its attitude to colour, which is very much that of “less is more”. Utilising very few colours — sometimes even just one — it turns this apparent limitation into a virtue by concentrating more intensely on the design itself and the impact it can make with a reduced number of hues.
Stripping away the non-essentials and making what’s left work harder is never easy. There is always a temptation to go on adding and “improving”, despite the obvious risk that this entails of gilding the lily. Where mono-graphics are concerned, that option is just not available, so the designer is forced to become more resourceful, more efficient or simply cleverer.
