The production of art has many possible purposes, and in the case of this collection of [abstract posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play), the intention was to mark the 10-year anniversary of the ManvsMachine design studio's work with [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-sock). No, you won't see a swoosh in these pieces, but the visual language is certainly representative of the vibrant, geometric and typographic elements of the [sports and lifestyle brand's recent aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-form-follows-motion).

Every abstract poster combines two colors for very different graphic treatments. Hues of vivid pink salmon and bold king blue are highly contrasting, making it quite striking to see the shapes that emerge from their juxtaposition. Maybe it's this punchy visual interplay that represents the collaboration of two visionary companies.
