An inspiring visual survey of the resurgence of minimalism in contemporary graphic design

Minimalism has informed some of the greatest graphic design in the
history of the art form. It gave us the Helvetica font and decluttered
web design, and it allowed graphic designers to focus with renewed
diligence on the relationship between form and function. Today’s
resurgence in minimalist graphic design?as creators move away from the
ornate, decorative patterns that have saturated our visual culture for
the past decade?calls for a closer look at the movement in its new,
contemporary context.

Min showcases around 150
outstanding minimalist designers working across a wide range of formats
and media?from independent magazines and album cover designs to
corporate identity and branding. Three sections?“Reduction,” “Geometry,”
and “Production”?define key approaches to minimalism in its visual
forms. Each section presents a range of contemporary works, all produced
in the past three years. These are accompanied by exclusive interviews
with leading practitioners and proponents of minimalist design (Jessica
Svendsen, Made Thought, Eric Hu, and others) that offer an in-depth look
at their creative processes. Finally, essays tracing the evolution of
minimalism in graphic design allow for a useful comparison of the first
wave of minimalism in the 1960s to its renascent form today. 500 color
