Banding is a graphic design term that refers to the visible stripes or bands of colour that appear in a gradient or smooth transition between different colour tones. These bands can be the result of limitations in colour depth, compression, or display capabilities. Banding is often considered a flaw in design, as it disrupts the smooth and continuous appearance of a gradient, leading to a less visually appealing result. With this project I wanted to explore the beautiful side of banding; zooming in on the stepped colour bars and creating a minimalist composition that leads your eyes across or into the canvas as they explore the contours of lines and the depth of the colours.
