Low Poly is all about irregular precision rage from 3d mesh object occur in real-time applications. The "poly" from low poly comes from the word "polygon," which is merely a 2-dimensional shape made of straight lines and angles.

Low poly 3d models also has its uses. The most important use is game engines since a computer can only handle many polygons in real time.

While a lot of this low-poly style is derived from illustration, it's now being used in all kinds of graphic design, having made the journey from digital art to logos, print, and more.

One thing that these geometric works mostly all do share are straight lines. There are those that incorporate circles and curves, but it's something about those polygonal shapes, composed of facets, that makes us think "geometry!"
