This is an example of how by giving yourself contraints you can create an interesting design. Back in high school I was attending classes dedicated to branding. On the first class the teacher asked us to create a chess set using the grid.

I decided to chose the minimal amount of space to represent the pieces. I discovered that I can show the visual aspects of the figures by using simple, geometric shapes.

When the teacher checked our progress she said "You already know something about design, don't you?"
