Forest Floor Color Palette
Inspired by the Memphis Design Movement
The Memphis Group formed in 1981 in Milan, Italy. Their designs were a post-modern reaction against the clean lines of modernism. This radical and outrageous style blended design traits of 1950s kitsch, Art Deco, and Pop Art.
Some characteristics of Memphis design include:
- asymmetrical shapes
- circles, triangles, and other geometric shapes
- squiggles
- bright neon, primary and pastel colors
- bold, repetitive patterns
Below is my try at creating a Memphis style design.
