Italian illustrator Alessandro Gottardo’s beautiful, open and inviting illustrations have been featured in major newspapers and magazines including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, The Economist and Newsweek among others. He’s won numerous awards including the gold medal from The Society of Illustrators New York in 2009.
Gottardo’s clever illustrations show us why a minimalist approach can go a long way in telling a story. By taking out all that’s unnecessary and distilling ideas down to very basic forms and shapes, Gottardo makes us believe that complicated concepts can be illustrated in surprisingly simple ways.
