You would be correct if you said you saw a white vase, or you saw two black faces looking at each other!! Maybe you see both!
you are seeing how positive and negative space work together to help our brains make sense out of images!
the white area around this type is called negative space....meaning that there is nothing there. Positive space is created when you add something...such as a picture or ...even type....like this!
Look at this back page from the Chicago Sun-Times
sports section.
Can you find where positive space was used?
Can you identify where negative space was used?
