The Brief
Contrast & Negative Space
Exploiting the principles of contrast and negative space and the assets provided, create two double-page spread layouts ‘splash’ page and ‘turn’ page using the assets provided.
- You must use at least 800 words of the copy across the two spreads
- You must use at least three of the images across the two spreads (you can also find your own images too)
- You can create more than one set of ‘final’ spreads
- Try to use InDesign to compose your final spreads, though you can use Photoshop to manipulate the images.
REMEMBER: Alignment and hierarchy... you should employ these principles as well as Contrast and Negative Space
- You can introduce colour and/or texture in the type, images, background, etc.
- You can manipulate the type (e.g. tracking, leading, outlines, inlines, etc.)
Deadline
Online presentation and formative feedback: Thursday 13TH OCTOBER from your final PDF and physical thought material.

Below are some of my favourite examples of the use of negative space used in designs, I found these through quick search in google and from the book (Bar, N. (2009) Negative Space. New York: Mark Batty.).

My contrasting colours were simple as I used the orange from the mars images on the turn page and used the white from the border to do something with negative space, which was the header.

I changed more of the turn page as it was a little boring before, I changed the typeface on the drop cap and subheading to match the heading on the splash page so they would look more like a set.
