Visual One-Pagers
Back in October I introduced you to the subtractive art of Todd Clarke, who creates visual one-pagers for books. Realizing there may be an attractive market for his unique art, he’s decided to kick things up a notch or two. He recently launched VisualOnePagers.com, and unsolicited by me, produced a couple of one-pagers for two recent posts of mine.

The Subtractive Art Of Todd Clarke
Every once in a while you get an unexpected gift from out of nowhere. I was the lucky recipient of such a gift: a beautiful 1-page visual summary of The Laws of Subtraction by Todd Clarke. It speaks for itself. I like it for several reasons, not the least of which is Todd’s mad ability. I like 1-page stuff. Maybe it’s the Toyota A3 influence, but I figure if you can’t get your thinking on one page, you haven’t really done your thinking. Amazingly, Todd is offering a free wall-size pdf version over at his site, a site chock full of other 1-page visuals. I’ll be enlisting his help with my new book. Well done Todd!
