Simon Page

After browsing the internet looking at some Swiss design, I have stumbled across Simon Page, who is a contemporary graphic designer who has produced some amazing posters.

The website where I discovered his work and information, was a very interesting read. grainedit.com described Simon as, "a self-taught graphic design whiz with a mathematics background. He takes shapes and morphs them into cerebral abstractions. His style shifts around futuristic digital designs and 1960s minimalism, trotting the delicate line between simplicity and detail". The interview on this website is very insightful and he believes that his background in mathematics is essential in his designing, because it inspires some of his geometric designs, which I believe are really unique and original.

I love his use of line and how his collection of stripes can in itself make a geometric shape, his layering and tonal values are also incredible and this style of print could make an amazing fashion sample.
