balance among elements helps to activate negative space and smoothly guide the
viewer's eyes from one part of the design to another.
• Adding space to your designs makes it easier for the audience to understand the
most important points of your presentation. Significant points should pop out more
than the less important points. You can also use implied space and depth in your
designs to create an interesting visual tension.
• Learning to first see white space is the first step toward designing effective
visuals; restraint concerning what you add to that space is the second.
