More Wonderful ‘Smarter Planet’ lllustrations


In our book, no one creates more clever design (or advertising) like Noma Bar. A new series of ads were just released by the illustrator as he continues his work for IBM's Smarter Planet. The idea? To visually communicate a complex story in a simple way that deserves a second look.

Smarter Planet is a corporate initiative of IBM whereby they seeks to highlight how forward-thinking leaders in business, government and civil society around the world are capturing the potential of smarter systems to achieve economic growth, near-term efficiency, sustainable development and societal progress.

Who better to show this than Noma Bar, master of negative space? See his first set for IBM here.
