Space

According to the article on space, it is important for the designer to have a reason for using a lot of white space or filling up the white space. And the reason needs to be fairly easy for the reader to pick up on. Centered images and unused white space can be boring, but a design with an image going off the page or bleeding onto another page is more interesting to grab the reader's attention. For our pamphlet project, we should not use centered images, because this would not grab a student's attention when obvioiusly, we want them to read about the English department. Depending on how the design is set up, the amount of white space used (or not used) is important. There are many different kinds of space. If space looks like it was just left white for no reason, the design does not look complete and is not going to draw attention. However, if the space is used in a way that illustrates a certain mindset (if there is a reason for the white space to be left blank or filled up) the design may seem more interesting.
