The biggest thing I learned this semester was to take advantage of white space. I didn’t realize how much impact a simple, minimal design could have. Going into this class my thoughts were to add and embellish and use effects and colors and repeat images. While yes, these effects might really add to a piece, they’re only going to add to something if they’re used in moderation. Under-designing can in fact be better than over-designing. Before, I may have thought that once I finished a design that I should look it over and think, what else can I add? Now, when making this evaluation, my thought will definitely be, what can I take out?
