Graceful Simplicity: Toward a Philosophy and Politics of Living Simply

Graceful Simplicity: Toward a Philosophy and Politics of Living Simply

Henry Holt and Company, New York, New York, 1999

Description

I really wanted to keep it very simple and spare yet visually interesting. I guess this is an instance where less is more. The nautilus shell on a white background was used to signify beauty and grace within a simple, natural form. The art was “feathered” to keep the edges soft. The colors used were earth tones.
