A Collision of Color: Illustrations by Linda Yan

Linda Yan

Cana­di­an illus­tra­tor Lin­da Yan fus­es strokes of col­or into vibrant com­po­si­tions. She mix­es and match­es abstract­ed red, blues, greens, and yel­lows shapes, cre­at­ing a col­li­sion of tex­tures that are off­set by areas of sol­id col­or. This pro­duces a visu­al “push and pull” effect and helps achieve visu­al bal­ance so that our eye isn’t com­plete­ly overwhelmed.

I found Lin­da’s work in issue 27 of Upper­case mag­a­zine, which show­cas­es 30 new illus­tra­tion tal­ents. As with all issues, this one is beau­ti­ful­ly designed, but if you’re a fan of the field, you’ve got to check this one out!
