Visual Research: Shape – Art by Law Kok Yew and Gigi Lee (Y&R Malaysia)

             This illustration was made to inform people of the effects of deforestation in Malaysia. The shape of the animal is framed within a cut-down tree with blood pooling out. The artists used the shape to convey the relationship between the trees and the endangered animals. If you cut down the forest you are harming the animals. I love how at one glance the shapes delivers all the information so simply. What I want to take away from this illustration to apply to my art is to always strive for a simple, easy on the eyes design and an easily readable message.
