Canadian Design Today Blog Post: Bruce Mau<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For this last blog post, I found Bruce Mau\u2019s work very beautiful and clean. Born in Ontario, Mau is a designer, innovator, and educator who won an AIGA Gold medal in 2007 and co-founded the Massive Change Network with his wife Bisi Williams in Chicago. I was drawn to the minimalistic compositions he creates, often using typography as the main attraction of his work. As a student with a background in illustration, I always think that more is better and have been trying to learn how to scale back to what is only necessary to convey the idea. For Mau\u2019s work, I admire how there is nothing unnecessary at all in his designs. The bold type paired with the use of colour, lines, or slight gradients reads very nicely and is so appealing to the eyes without feeling bare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also amazed to see Mau\u2019s other work in installations and architecture! His work continues in the same cleanliness as his graphic design work. In some installations, he plays with repetition and covers every plane in the room to create an incredibly immersive effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
