Visual Techniques

Asymmetry
Irregularity
Understatement
Subtlety
Balance
Flatness

Irregularity
Asymmetry (despite seeming symmetrical, vulvas are all very different and often asymmetrical)
Intricacy
Boldness
Variation
Accuracy
Depth
Sequentiality
Episodicity
Neutrality

These two examples are very different. The top one uses subtlety and understatement to only hint at the underlying "bones" of the text that play with the title of the company rather than if the text was made completely of bones. It uses balance and simplicity to keep the design minimal. This gives off the impression of the company being a bit playful, yet still to be taken seriously. The bottom image is a sculpture showing the variation of vulvas. It uses episodicity and sequentiality to show the diversity of these body parts. Depth and intricacy are used to further show the difference sin shape, size, texture, etc. The neutrality of the color denies the viewer a possibility of identifying certain vulvas with particular racial groups. This allows the viewer to see the diversity of the vulvas, yet in a monochromatic, simplified way.
