ITTY BITTY BUT A BIGGIE
meet my new minimalist hero, mr. andrew b. myers. take a look at these photos. yes, people. these are photographs. myers, a canadian photographer based in new york, carefully composes different objects and shoots them in perfectly designed, minimalistic patterns. he shoots these in flat light so that they appear illustrated. so cool.

MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA
NAMES AND ICONS
fun series from swedish illustrator patrik svensson featuring the names of famous people, with a subtle and clever nod to what made them memorable. the van gogh is my favorite. reminds me of this series from a couple of weeks ago.

SMART DESIGN / LESS IS MORE
the best designers are those that can say a lot with very little. it's incredibly difficult to peel away all of the layers of a concept, idea, product and arrive at the essence of what it is; and even harder to have the restraint to convey JUST that. i love this series by christian jackson, aka sinch, because it does just that. they're also nostalgic while still being modern which is kind of amazing. these pieces are such a reminder of the power of symbols: he's focused in on the core image of each of these beloved stories and (since he picked the right ones) he's able to use our associations and memories in order to convey so much with so little.
