Design Challenge
How to "minimal" the design is the main challenge for this project. Less but better is the main aim of the project. simplicity is key and if the idea is good, lesser elements will suffice. Minimalist design today is about reduction, unearthing a message and structuring the content. It makes effective use of blank spaces and creates a high visual impact with only the most essential elements.
We subtract unnecessary structure. We subtract any material other than paper. We subtract printing or other post-processing. We only use paper as a single material and the material itself as the structure. We also add a natural look to the paper with the laser engrave process.
