Matrix Graphix 1

This book was born as a graphic corollary to the geometric and figurative textures which are part of the Black eWhite Matrix project, as matrix of necessity unique, essential and in black and white. Strong and powerful, each graphic explores the possibilities of black and white, freed from superfluity, chromatic and psychological. But, like any child can escape from a parent's hand and take unpredictable roads, the colour discarded in the initial project began to surface, at first with a light touch, then with fuller and more decisive tones. The spirit of the time and the memory of the fizzy 80's have produced a miracle of sorts: a synthetical look but with one colour for each graphic, on a background often in contrast. More life and passion, a flow of strong flavours, with ideas that speak of yesterday but of tomorrow, too. Evolution in taste can be delayed or contained, but it will break through and this book's course is the proof of it. The book provides graphic designers, artists, stylists, and anyone in need of artistic inspiration with 250 free-to-use and easy-to-manipulate designs. This title presents a collection of designs that draw inspiration from a variety of themes - Music GSound, Dreams of Cinema, Fashion eStyle, Horror rFantasy, Love eSex, and Urban Natural.
