Color: The color palettes are intensely saturated and vibrant, utilizing a limited number of bold, flat colors per image, often featuring striking combinations of primaries and secondaries like yellow, red, black, and green. Colors are applied in distinct areas, and texture is often integrated within these color fields. The high contrast between colors is a key visual element, enhancing the graphic quality and creating immediate visual punch.
Lighting: The lighting is entirely flat and graphic, serving only to define the color areas and forms within the composition. There are no realistic shadows or highlights; the sense of form and texture is created solely through the application of color and the inherent texture of the style. This contributes to the bold, two-dimensional, print-like quality.
Design Technique: The styles emphasize a prominent, uniform texture (resembling halftone dots or screen printing grain) that covers the entire image. Forms are simplified and graphic, often outlined or defined by strong color separation. Compositions are direct and impactful, utilizing strong shapes and color blocks. The varied subjects are unified by this consistent graphic treatment and texture, creating a cohesive collection despite the diverse imagery. The styles convey a sense of retro-modernity, bold graphic design, and a tactile, artistic sensibility reminiscent of analog print processes.
