-4 Graphic Design Space

Space
Space, or depth, is the eponymous property of our 3-dimensional world. It refers to the area that a shape or form occupies. Space can be defined as positive or negative.

Positive space is the filled space, the object(s) or element(s) in the design.

Negative space is the empty space, or the open space between design elements or objects, such as a background.

Designers can create the illusion of physical space and spatial relationships through:

1) Linear Perspective
2) Size & Vertical Location
3) Overlapping
4) Detail (Aerial or Atmospheric Perspective)
