I never thought about relating space to shadow in that way before. Thanks, John!I think space is my favorite element. It lets you breathe. Hehe, it’s a good saying even if it doesn’t totally rhyme!

I think space is my favorite element. It lets you breathe.

White space cannot be over-emphasised. Even a prosaic design can be improved that way. White space like shadows in the natural world, gives substance to elements on the page.I once read a book by Tanazaki, "In Praise of Shadows"--It was a long time ago, but I'm sure there are things in that book (which was mainly about shadow and architecture), that could be applied to design--the concepts at least.I think the whole white space/negative space thing is why I love typography. Good type, well placed naturally makes for good white space. Oh, that almost rhymes;) Good post, Lauren. White space cannot be over-emphasised. Even a prosaic design can be improved that way.
