Like what is that weird circle thing doing on the right one? Putting clipart-style stuff on a flyer just because you need to fill some space doesn't feel like good design to me.
Typography on the right one is a lot better tough.
- charliepark 12y agoThe circle is an Ensō. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D "In Zen Buddhism, an ensō (円相 , "circle"?) is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create." "The ensō symbolizes absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and mu (the void). It is characterised by a minimalism born of Japanese aesthetics." I can't speak to why it's there; possibly ties in to aikido?
- Mikeb85 12y agoYes the Zen circle thingy ties in to Aikido. Aikido is a (some say useless) martial art which emphasizes using an attacker's motion against him, and philosophically contains many philosophies which it shares with Zen Buddhism.
