406 - Initial Task 1 - Illustrator using shape - Noma Bar

Noma Bar

Noma Bar uses vectors to create illustrations that have both positive and negative images within them. He has a minimal colour palette. They're often charming and funny once your brain adjusts to his clever manipulation of shapes.   


He always has a defined solid shape that is instantly recognisable before you notice the more subtle negative shape. Bar shows how it is possible to create these using as few as two colours.  

 

The egg astronaut below is just two shapes but I know it's an astronaut and I know it's an egg. Neither is weaker than the other in terms of being recognisable but the main thing I enjoy is that each illustration makes you smile.
