'Spock'
'The Big Squeeze'
'Gun Crime Illustration'
I almost feel tempted to put on some DMB for this post, however I am really feeling the playlist based off of Duncan Sheik's 'Barely Breathing.' The gods at Apple have once more fully satisfied me with the Genius feature on iTunes. If you don't have it on your iTunes, I implore you, pleeeeeease go on and set it up now. GET TO DA CHOPPA!
Anyway, the other night I had a few moments to myself and I started Stumbling. (I know, I know I just ranted about it, but I really do love StumbleUpon. So 3 hours later, I was left looking at this amazing vector artist who uses negative space to paint a picture within a picture. It was the perfect marriage of literature and design, the ex-English major and current DM major in me felt fully satisfied at this union.
Norma Bar creates minimalist drawings that pack a maximus punch. Hidden with in his drawings are other drawings which tell a different story all together. I believe his work is very important to other designers to look at because it helps them to see that less is not more. It also teaches the lesson that as a designer and a consumer one must always look below the surface and see what else is available or what else you can show your audience. By making his pictures vectorized, Bar gives his drawings a unique aesthetic and also allows for them to be shrunk down and blown up without loosing any of their character.
