When you're surrounded by people, you feel crowded in, right? Maybe a little trapped? It's the same way with type. Type needs space. Otherwise, a potentially great layout loses its energy. In this clip from our fourth Typography critique, Chris and Milka Broukhim experiment with space in one of the student's work.

When Chris talked about flow and feng shui it gave me a realization and reminded me of how he often talks about how design is universal/if you know how to design a page layout you can design an interior space or a building, etc. I would LOVE to see more videos that connect the dots between different disciplines like this!

Absolutely agree!! thay would be fascinating, useful and will refresh our minds on how different philosophical elements integrate in a functional way into the day a day surrounding artwork and help us towards and objective.

I like books and magazines, especially those that are design related, that have plenty of blank space. This can be used by the reader in an interactive reflective way to add comments or additional thumbnail sketches. To encourage and prompt such impulses, I layout all of my books that way as well.

Cool, but I can't see "The journal for graphic design" and " FEB ..." So what happens if that must be on poster? And what if the client said I want REZN to be visible...

Ask why to surface their intent, then propose solutions that might help them accomplish it.

I’m trying to design templates for social media, so in this case don’t we want to make text as big as possible so texts would be legible on mobile or computer screens, do I still have to factor in space in my design or is it not as crucial when it comes to layout for social media?
