Exercise 10: Graphic Simplicity


Minimalism: A design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect
White space: The unprinted area of a piece of printing, blank space
Graphic simplicity: graphic has the simplest elements needed to convey what it is without extra details



This is an example of white space used as the apple and type take up a minimal amount of area with the rest being blank. It also has minimalism as there is only one element, the apple, that conveys the message of the company, Apple.

This image has to do with graphic simplicity as very simple shapes and colors are used to create the images, but it is still comprehended as the Bat Signal. It also has white space, the black area around the light, that is not filled in, but still can be perceived as the night sky.

This last one has a fair amount of blank whtie space around the image. It also has graphic simplicity because the boy's figure is made of basic shapes. It also has minimalism in the type as the message is very simple, but clear...and funny.
