alsoarty Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Design - whether graphic, industrial, interior or architecture - is the process of taking unrelated parts and putting them together into an organized unit. Each discipline works with solids and voids, and each must respond to three questions: What are the elements I have to work with? Where o these elements go? What structure is necessary so they go together? White space (visual arts), are the portions of a page left unmarked. It is the "glue" that holds everything together.Graphic designer Alex W. White said "One definition of good design is the balance between the designer's self-indulgence and monotony. So today's challenge is to use white space. I've always thought of it as wasted space, or I am inclined to journal in the space not used. Please post your layouts in the Gallery for us to admire.

I tend to make LOs that are > Minimalism is any design or style wherein the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect.

Belle Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks for the challenge Andrea. I HATE white space so this really makes me think outside the box. I always want to fill every little piece of blank space with something. I really must try to do more of these. Bianca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
