4. The principle of blank space

At present, this function is often used in posters and art design.

For example, the following posters all use the principle of blank space:

Points, lines and surfaces are elements of graphic design, and when used in typesetting, there will be a sense of hierarchy.

a moving poster usually contains a notice, so the theme should be clear and conspicuous (such as xx competition, discount, etc.), and then summarize the main contents such as time, place and notes with the most concise sentences. The beautiful illustrations and layout of posters are usually a good way to attract attention. In real life, there are more abstract and concrete. It is suggested to read some books about POP and collect more beautiful pictures (cartoons, etc.). When designing a poster, if you need to draw it by hand, you can use crayons, brush (Chinese painting), paper-cutting and other forms according to your own specialties, not necessarily poster color. Computer-designed posters are professional, and you may need to master PHOTOSHOP and other software.
