| Space
Space
is the element of design that shape and form exists in. It is the
emptiness or area between, around, above, below or within objects.
Positive
space is the area occupied by a shape or form. Negative space is
the empty spaces between the shapes or forms.
In
the composite image to the left, the negative space is the empty
space around the keys and the space in the hole in the keys. The
positive space is the area occupied by the keys, which are free-form
shapes. |
