White Space
It’s okay to have white space, empty space on your page that is not filled with text or graphics or anything but clean empty space. It’s okay. You can do it. Your type will love it. When you find type treatments that appeal to you, take a moment to see where that designer let the white space be. Chances are there is a fair amount of it. Look through this book at all the white space. Look through other books and see how much white space they have, and be conscious of your reaction to the ones that have very little. Be brave enough to let the empty space just sit there. It’s okay.
There are so many wonderfully offbeat typefaces available ...
