Shownotes Transcript

 Balance is noticeable, but never more so than in design. A discipline that has been trained over years and years to recognize when two elements are too close or too far. These elements are related these paragraphs are completely different. We have trained our minds to quickly recognize and decipher information in this way. 

 

However, some things that are so glaringly obvious on paper can be terribly hard to recognize in our own lives. With us almost always at the center of our own self portraits of the world we can forget what lies behind. A beautiful picture, must have balance, just as much of the focus as of the negative space. Never crowding, but never too far away either, the perfect amount of space. 

Today, we discuss the design principle of negative space and how it can apply to our own design of life. Think about the elements you are next to on your page these could be relationships, hobbies, or characteristics. Training yourself and others to see you and categorize you in a certain way. Imagine the negative space around you to help keep yourself and others in a beautiful design.
