Simplicity in Design

Posted on 17:06 by Unknown
-By Dan dos Santos


I just saw this poster... and talk about gorgeous! 
How can a simple red circle be so haunting and so poignant?
This poster, despite it's unfortunate connotation, is an amazing example of the great role symbolism plays in visual narrative.




Artist James White,  the brains behind Signalnoise, created this poster to help the Japan relief effort. You can contribute to the fund by purchasing one HERE. At just $30, it's a steal in my opinion. Plus, you get to do something good!
