Summary:

'Minimal Film' is a book on film narrated through the visual magic of graphic design or a graphic design book told through the evocative magic of cinema. The goal of 'Minimal Film' lies in representing the emotion of cinema through extreme synthesis and simplicity of forms. Plus there's colour, which makes each illustration visually stunning and effective. For example: a white circle resting on a blue field is enough to portray the ball Wilson from 'Cast Away', while two white triangles perfectly perpendicular to a red field suffice to evoke 'Dracula'. From 'Game of Thrones' to 'Breaking Bad', even TV series, which have been elected to "prime-time" for Hollywood productions, are visually represented in the book.

Notes:

A series of iconic representations describing movies in the briefest possible form.
