What is minimal? … It was easier to define what minimalism is not. In term of graphic design, minimal does not mean black, empty, devoid, or evan quiet. It does not permit the gratuitous use of white spaces. It absoulutely is not a safety net for lack of contents.
In fact, minimal directly opposes all these things. Minimal graphic design, stripped of incidental references and pared down to its most essential elements, presents a purity intellectual or visual experience. As the extreme minimalist Ad Reinhardt said,”Art is art. Everything else is everithing else.”
