If you are expecting to find my thoughts on outer space, I apologize. This post is actually in reference to space, positive/negative and format, and how it is used within art and photography.

Before we began this week, I always tended to pay more attention to focus and position [higher vs. lower], and had never actually heard of the terms positive space and negative space. Now; however, I would like to think that I will be paying more attention to how positive and negative space play a role within a site or graphic.

Well, the obvious challenge with ‘new media’ is that there is such a huge array of screen resolution sizes. Less obvious things to consider are users’ Internet connections and different graphic cards.

In the past I have not considered negative space; however, as stated before, I do intend to use it in the future. Again, same for illusionary space; although, I had experimented some with drop shadows. And yes, I absolutely intend on using both in the future.

No, I do not know any artists, off hand, that are ‘masters’ of space. I do have to admit, though, that I am not much into art nor photography. However, I do have ambitions to begin looking a little more in depth into photography [both others and taking photos].
