Joshua Davis

The above artworks are by graphic designer and programmer Joshua Davis. I love the variety in his work--how he can be very geometric in his designs, or organic like the first piece in this post. What that tells me is he's extremely talented, because he is well rounded and can successfully create both styles. Color and shape seem to be the best elements of art in his work. His use of color is intriguing and catches the viewers attention, with the contrast between vibrant colors and shades of gray. The shapes are consistent, but also vary in color, size, and orientation and can be geometric or organic. The principles of design that are strongest in his works are variety, repetition, and contrast. One shape never exists just once in his design and it has several alterations to it throughout the work, such as the different triangles in the second and third pieces. In nearly all of his pieces there is sharp contrast between values and colors (such as very bright whites and yellows against the dark background in top piece).
