Minimalism

-
What
movement focusing on simplicity, clean lines, and geometric forms.
Limited color palette, repetition, negative space, and structured composition.
Why
Artists wanted to focus on objectivity, structure, and clarity instead of emotional expression.
Typography
Sans-serif Fonts
- Use structured fonts like Helvetica, Futura, or Gill Sans for clean readability.
Bold & Legible – Headline text should be striking but not overly decorative—Minimalism avoids excessive ornamentation.
Colors
Accent Color
- If painting, use controlled pops of color (gouache, acrylic, poster paint) to create contrast while maintaining Minimalist simplicity.
Natural Palette
- Leverage raw cardboard tones, soft neutrals, or monochrome hues.
Composition
Grid System
- Use a grid-based layout to keep the visual arrangement structured.
Negative Space
- Allow breathing room between elements for a clean and uncluttered look.
How
Through clean shapes, neutral tones, typography choices, and composition.
Exploring layering, contrast, and negative space while keeping the composition uncluttered.
