‘Less is more” is a frequently used phrase these days across various industries such as interior design, fashion, art, website design, and even packaging design. When we talk about graphic design, many people have drawn influences and adapted the less is more approach in their design style. This is known as Minimalism. British Philosopher Richard Wollheim critiqued a group of artists for their minimal art content during 1965 and hence originated the term minimal. Since then, the word has evolved both in meaning and esteem. It has become a symbol more than a critique for people.
The minimalistic approach only uses the necessary elements for functionality, intending to produce a clear and sophisticated look that is easy to understand. Millennials often use this approach in their home designs, web page designs to offer better user experience, and more. The rising trend of Minimalism has made many brands turn to rebranding to take advantage of this popular style.
