Eric Hurtgen
I like to call it the "Designer's Triangle".
It has been so utterly overused that I feel it's now a real cop-out for artists and designers; much like the ubiquitous white Didot type contained in a black circle (yawn). I found Eric Hurtgen's work a while back but only just remembered to post it up here. His combination of low-fi black and white photography and teeny tiny triangles is far more sensitive and restrained than similar graphic work I've seen (though they do remind me a bit of the Qantas logo). And who knew animated gifs could actually be artistic. Thank you, Eric Hurtgen.
