# Geometric Animal Illustrations Hope Little Uses Shapely Styles to Bring Creatures to Life By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-03-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hope-little References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/364339/Striking-And-Vibrant-Geometric-Vector-Illustrations-Of-Animals/) & [hopelittle](http://www.hopelittle.com/) In her latest work titled Triangle Animals, Hope Little focuses on the power of shapes to create pieces that add a new twist to [creature portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-generator). To be more specific, the triangle is the main shape Hope Little used in the project, as she wanted to "keep things clean and simple," according to the quote sited on DesignTaxi.com. Her goal certainly comes through, as each illustration contains clear triangular shapes, but is also quite lifelike at the same time. Her attention to detail is amazing, with my personal favorite being the tiger design. The piece features the creature bearing its teeth for all to see, which is surprisingly scary considering the artwork consists of [numerous small triangles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp) that could take away from the realist element Little was trying to achieve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Shape-based Art:** Artists are exploring the use of unique shapes in their works, creating visual interest and new appeal for audiences. - **Simplistic Illustration:** Artists are utilizing minimalism in their illustrations, creating simpler designs that still manage to communicate complex ideas. - **Realistic Triangle Art:** Artists are experimenting with using geometric shapes to create pieces that accurately depict lifelike subjects. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Visual Arts:** Graphic designers and illustrators can utilize this trend to explore new style avenues for their clients. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising campaigns can benefit from incorporating unique visual elements to attract attention and differentiate themselves from competitors. - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can incorporate shape-based art into their designs or use similar shapes to create prints on garments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometry-Inspired Vase Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-vase-collection.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Geometric African Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-primary-shapes.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Abstract Triangular Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-side-table.md) - [Playful Geometric Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-co.md) - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md)
