At first glance, these posters appear to be nothing more than a series of colorful shapes. These were created by Australian graphic designer Nicholas Barclay. His recently completed series recreates the artwork of rock albums that are renowned in music history, using extremely minimalist methods. The artworks include 12 albums, including The Beatles' "Abbey Road," David Bowie's "Aladdin Sane," and Nirvana's "Nevermind." Committed to minimalism, the concept was to use either a circle or a square, or both. Barclay explains that many people try to guess what his artwork represents, so he strived to recreate them as simply as possible, while still retaining the ability to identify the album. Each piece includes the artist and album title, along with the track list, release date, and label name, printed in small letters. As the artist intended, gazing at the artworks creates a strange feeling of being reminded of familiar or familiar artwork.

Nicholas has previously created a series of minimalist designs featuring various types of cocktails, football players, and cities from around the world. He also specializes in unique pieces such as expressing a passage from Shakespeare's work using only the logos of modern companies such as Google, as well as pieces with strong messages. Posters of the work for this rock album are also on sale in his own web shop, with overseas shipping available.
