OUGD404 Brief 1 - Negative Space

Negative Space

"Negative space is, quite simply, the space that surrounds an
 object in a image. Just as important as that object itself, negative
space helps todefine the boundaries of positive space and brings
balance to a composition."

These two examples have used negative space for effect, in-particular
the elephant is my favourite the use of the mouse (which carves the
feet out) is clever due to the link with elephants being a afraid of mice.

Another example would be the use of negative space and the word
linking together for example.. The giraffe.






In the study session we were briefed to pick a word and then using
negative space to create an image/number etc that would represent 
the word in turn making the word look like the object, I chose 'BEAR'

I have just used the space in the letter B to create a teddy bear figure
I have played with spacing aswell as colour if i am to develop this 
further I would play around with different typography
