If you're a massive Star Wars fan and need something pretty to look at to tide your over before Episode VII comes out, these Filipe Carvahlo prints are it. The minimalist Star Wars character designs feature some of the franchise's most iconic personalities, including Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
The striking flat-style images use vibrant colors to make the graphics stand out, which consist of bold lines and color blocking. The designer and director, clearly a Star Wars fan himself, recreated the instantly recognizable roles by making clever use of shading and shapes in these intergalactic, impressively bold prints.
