Positive and Negative Space Instructions

The Zen concept that a bowl’s essence is the part that is missing corresponds to the graphic concept of negative space.
White space, also known as negative space, is the term describing open space between design elements.
It can be between letters, words, or paragraphs of text; space in and outside of graphics, and between all of the elements of the page.
It is essential for providing spatial relationships between visual items, and actually guides your reader’s eye from one point to another.

Treat white space as more than just a background.
Treat it as an integral part to your page design.
You’ll find it increases your layout’s appeal with less visual “noise,” while augmenting the visual power of your message.

Read the attached instructions.
Make sure your boxes are the correct measurements and you follow the instructions carefully.
