Overdesign to Minimal Design

Seeing as I love illustration as well as design, it can be a little difficult to not over design something. What I mean is, it is not necessarily a good design simply because a lot of space is filled up, or has extremely detailed aspects such as photos or type. Sometimes the most effective design is the simplest. Trying to stand out can be as simple as dialing it down to it's absolute base design in order to be clear of  the design clutter. Here are some awesome examples that I think could be very successful given the chance.
