Keeping it Simple

The assignment was to generate a design which would represent different peoples of the world. They would be displayed in a gallery during a missions emphasis month for a local church. So how to utilize one human form to represent a country? I decided on traditional attire and landmarks for each country and limit these designs using only basic shapes. The limited shapes were circle, square and triangle, in any dimension. Utililizing positive and negative space was the fun part and key to keeping this simple yet recognizable. More countries were added and curves were incorporated within the design. The above designs represent Native America, India and Latin America. Look for more tomorrow and I will explain how they were done.
