Familiar films as represented by the comically concise pictographic language of ShortologyMinimal Film tells the stories of the movies we all know and love―from Alien to Rain Man, Star Wars to Psycho, E.T. to Ghost―through the often comically concise pictographic language of Shortology.Something of an internet craze, Shortology can narrate anything through pictograms. This has allowed Milan-based graphic designer Matteo Civaschi to isolate the very essence of movie plots, eliminating the superfluous and focusing on the essential. For example, two white triangles perpendicular to a red field suffice to evoke Dracula. But even complex or lengthy plots can be reduced to this language, as the inclusion of TV series from Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad attests. This book serves as a great gift for cinephiles, comedy fans and graphic designers alike. Read more
