Vector design involves a lot of tough work and a knack for meditative outward of a box. It ranges from a photo-realistic to a really abstract. Almost all matrix design is dazzling. It focuses on sum and lighting as good as aspect gradients.

Troy DeShano has created tonnes of negative space art but it’s this creation, based on Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’, that caught our eye. We love the intergration of her hair with the silouhettes of flying birds.

Spartan Golf Club
Richard Fonteneau is a graphic designer based in Lexington, USA. The Spartan Golf Club is a perfect example of well executed negative space in a logo design. The arc appears to be the top of a Spartans warriors helmet, also the making of the golfer’s driving swing. And do you notice anything about the face of this Spartan?
FedEx Logo
The white arrow between the E and the X is piercing once seen. This ‘hidden arrow’ conveys the dynamic attributes that maintains FedEx leadership. The logo has won ample design awards and is constantly featured in ‘best logos’ lists. The logo was originally designed by Lindon Leader in 1994, he feels the sole purpose of branding is to facilitate the realisation of a client’s strategic marketing objectives. The work his studio creates “is not decorative or cosmetic”.
