Thailand-based illustrator and graphic designer Phuwadon Thongnoum created a series of geometric Star Wars images. The images are designed to mimic the classic characters seen in the galactic-themed movie series. However, these images are presented in a minimalist way, which allows the audience to easily recognize the characters even with the geometric aspect.
This particular series of images pays tribute to the original Star Wars IV: A New Hope movie. A few of the characters that Phuwadon Thongnoum's series contains are Darth Vader, R2D2 and Jawa. All of the images are a collection of simple and clean shapes placed in an intricate form to create cartoon-like characters.
The pure creativity and authentication each geometric Star Wars image presents allows the viewer to appreciate the images whether they are a fan of the galactic series or not.
