Distinguishing
Forcing clear separation between individual formal elements—whether they have
similar or different identities—enhances the sense of difference between them. Despite such dis-
tinction, forms that have similar identities will retain the sense that they are related. One result of
distinguishing through spatial separation, however, is that intervals of negative space may become
more regularized and, therefore, potentially static. Rotating elements to create directional move-
ment will alleviate this quality somewhat.
