Art Style Research

Malika Favre

Malika Favre is a french designer that is based in London. Her approach to her design is to get as few lines as colours in her work as possible. She works in a minimalistic style which i think also looks like something from the 1950’s and the pop art style.

This image on the left is an illustration for a cover of the magazine “Fabric”. She uses very little lines and colours as it all connects together as one. She uses gradients for the background to represent the sky. Within this image she uses less than 10 colours, this gives it the minimalistic look that she tries to achieve with her work.

This is another example of her work called “Vogue Japan” This was the cover of Vogue Magazine in October. This is very typical of her style of work of using very little lines and colours to get a minimalistic look. I think it is effective the way she uses little colours but adds in a light source to the image so that she changes the tone of her skin and the colours of her clothing to make it look realistic as well as still being minimal.

Overall i like the style of her work as it reminds me of the pop art style from such artists as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein that we researched in our last project.

I think i will use this type of style when creating my own book cover art for my chosen book “The Outsiders”
