Doubt will be an interesting movie - but I like to focus your attention on the great minimalist design: the cross and church merged into one element - and the word “Doubt” itself is a mixture of old and modern the very topic of the movie.

Excellent work!

I am a big fan of simplicity and minimalism - and this cover perfectly unites these two design principles. Great work!

Robert Mapplethorpe - Apollo 1988

Simplicity often is the best way to let beauty speak for itself. Robert Mapplethorpe was the Master of reduction - he had a keen eye for just capturing the essence of his subjects.

Here is an excellent article about “Robert Mapplethorpe and the Classical Tradition” in relationship to Mannerism.

Most amusing side note: here we see the God Apollo - who was also the patron of the Arts.

The old Minimalism is the new Minimalism

This design from the 50/60’s is once again modern in it’s simplicity and naturalistic approach. I wonder if minimalism can ever run out of fashion?
