Less is More is a festival that showcases the beauty in simplicity.The original phrase, popularised by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, suggests that simplicity is more effective than excess, as it allows for greater clarity and focus.Minimalism revolves around order, where shape, space, and structure are carefully curated. These principles became the foundation for the festival's identity—a geometric design system that is flexible and applicable.This project received 1st Place in Visual Communication at GradEX 2024, voted by Girl&Bear, VCCP.
