Space
Though the article touches on several different subjects regarding space, the basic idea is that you need to find just the right balance for what you're trying to convey. If you want to convey a feeling of desolation or loneliness, a smaller image on a predominately solid-white page would work best. On the other hand, if you want energy or chaos, you would want to use a minimum of white space. For our pamphlet project, I think we need to find a good balance in between the two. We don't want the English department to look depressing or boring, but at the same time we don't want to dissuade the reader with too much imagery. I do think it would be safer to err on the side having too little white space than too much. Pamphlets aren't necessarily designed to be artistic or minimalist, they're intended to grab your attention and then give you information.
