![]() Here are four reasons why striking the perfect balance between positive and negative space is important in graphic design. But get them wrong, and your image will seem a little off - even to the uninitiated. In a well-balanced design, the untrained eye won’t even notice the positive and negative space. Importance of positive and negative space in graphic design This article will cover why positive and negative space matter in design, examples and use cases of positive and negative space, and tips for working with positive and negative space in your designs. ![]() Understanding positive and negative space and how to use them effectively is an essential skill for a graphic designer as it helps create emphasis, balance, visual interest, and a pleasing aesthetic. However, in some cases, negative space can be used to add elements to the design, as we’ll see later on. It’s the space that’s not occupied by the elements used in the design. Negative space, on the other hand, is the empty or open area surrounding and between the positive spaces. It is the focus of attention and is often what the viewer perceives as the subject of the design. Positive space is the area of a design or work of art containing a design element, such as shapes, figures, objects, or text. That’s a big thank you from Ireland!! You da’ man.To become a successful graphic designer, you’ll need to master the art of using positive and negative space in your designs. As a sculptor/crafter it’s great to stand on your shoulders for the art areas that aren’t my speciality. OMG what a class it was!! What a joy it was to be able to give each student one on one while your videos clearly, concisely, eloquently and expertly explained the concepts. "Hey Matt used this video today in my 2nd year art class, with ultimate lesson plan resources. I couldn't have done it without your help. Our home is now filled with drawings and paintings I've done, and I look around in amazement to see what I've created. I will be exhibiting my work in two shows coming up next month. Today I have oil paintings hanging in our library, a local bank, our community center, and in a gallery. I found your site and your lessons have been invaluable. Three years ago I decided to give it a try. I was one of those people who always said "I can't draw" and I never thought I could learn. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you do for the art community, and especially for aspiring artists like me. You should be very proud of your accomplishments as a teacher as well as your artistic talent." - Ron Most of your video modules that range around 12 - 20 minutes, just right in my opinion. Finally, you tell them what they should have learned. You tell them what they are going to be taught. Your teaching mythology is just first rate. "I'm compelled to let you know how impressed I am with your courses, not only as a new art and drawing student but as an individual with years of adult training experience. Your courses provide such a strong base to work off of and develop skills, I plan on using them as reference for the years to come. Your positive and motivational advice and expertise was a blessing and I want to thank you for being the type of person that you are and supporting people's dreams and passions. ![]() When I wanted to develop my drawing and art skills your videos were exactly what helped me do so. I applied to The School of the Arts Institute of Chicago and not only got accepted but received a full scholarship & some more. I put together a very strong portfolio and sent off my applications almost 3 months before my expected deadline and already got accepted. I easily created over 30 pieces and took your advice on breaking off from the videos and created my own pieces. With your guidance on portfolios and self direction I was able to finish your Watercolor Workshop, Colored Pencil Course, and start on the Oil Painting Mastery course. I reached out to you a while back regarding art school and I want you to know how much the personal response/video you made for me helped and directed me. "Hi Matt, I wanted to send you a quick thank you email. Matt is an excellent instructor and the videos are hands on, superbly paced, and perfectly executed. "This is without a doubt the most amazing online experience I have ever had.
