These simplistic sneaky silhouettes show how powerful images can be. Be it art, photography or even a piece of furniture, the outline or shadow of an object or person can be as visually stimulating as a detailed sketch. From silhouetted hearths to baby profiles, these simplistic sneaky silhouettes allow people to focus on a new perspective of the subject at hand.
More than that, these simplistic sneaky silhouettes also show how graphically-minded individuals have become. Although such designs have been around for some time now, there is a particular interest in minimal aesthetics that tie in with the slew of retro posters and infographics that have been popping up of late. Simplistic sneaky silhouettes can also be utilized across many industries.
