50 Awesome Examples of Triangles in Design

September 08, 2009 from amanda's blog

Today I will profess my love for triangles! Strange love to have, I know. But seriously, right after circles, triangles are the next best thing.

I've always loved triangular elements in design. For me it completes the piece. You can have a very simple composition but as soon as you add a triangle it becomes magical in my eyes :D Apparently triangles are the most unpleasing shape because it confuses the eye with its odd number of points. I heard that in some high school art class once but I don't believe it. Triangles are lovely.

Anyway, enough about that. Here I gathered some nice examples of triangles in design. Some of these have an overall very geometric feel to it (like the ones from Andy Gilmore for example), while others are just simple compositions with a triangle thrown in there. Hope you guys enjoy these and feel free to share with me your undying love for triangles via twitter or facebook ;)

Book Suggestion: Why We Buy - The Science of Shopping
The book of this week is not a design book per se but it's an incredible book. I have just finished it and I got so much valuable information that can be applied in my day to day job as designer. The book is called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping--Updated and Revised for the Internet, the Global Consumer, and Beyond by Paco Underhill.
