Minimalist/Maximalist Bundle
LESS IS MORE: 20th Anniversary Edition + MORE IS MORE
ABOUT LESS IS MORE: 20th Anniversary Edition
The minimalism movement has become a mainstay in popular culture, due in no small part to the mounting pressures of modern life and the need to cut clutter. In graphic design, its principles are often applied by way of reducing the colour palette used, whether it be for visual identities, publications, or exhibitions. Amid the sea of chaos in saturated spaces, simplicity can make for a truly striking statement.
In conjunction with Victionary’s 20th anniversary, the 2021 rerelease of LESS IS MORE features additional projects and a special cover that draws from the original look of its best-selling predecessor. It features creative solutions and visual experiments from around the world that play with thoughtful colour combinations, material applications, printing effects, and graphic details to prove that the best designs often speak more with less.
ABOUT MORE IS MORE
Minimalist design has grown into a popular and timeless aesthetic due to its emphasis on uncluttered spaces and the exclusion of unnecessary elements, making it the perfect anecdote to the chaos of modern life. However, although it works across a variety of mediums—spanning visual identities and interiors—some may find its rigour and restraint too dull or lacking in character visually.
As such, the maximalism movement has been gaining more and more momentum of late. Instead of extolling ‘less is more’ and paring everything down to a bare minimum, creatives are expressing themselves in bigger, bolder, and brighter ways that brim with personality. Whether it is by mixing clashing colours or matching disparate patterns and elements, MORE IS MORE is an ode to the fearless few who deftly break design rules and push the boundaries to make eye-catching statements.
