This image shows four simple white shapes on a black background. Each shape looks like a tool: a hook, a crescent wrench, and two different kinds of pliers. The edges are clean, and the whole thing is framed by a thin yellow border. The tools are drawn in a way that looks bold and flat, almost like a sign. The artist used a printing method that makes sharp lines stand out against the dark background. Want to learn more? Check out lithography.
