Identifying Negative Space

architecture:

This house displays a lot of negative space, with just a door and small window seeming insignificant next to all the negative space.

vehicle signage:

This Decorama vehicle shows a lot of negative space on the car itself, which the slightly different shaded sign blends with. The sign also contains mostly negative space and text but with a small watermark backdrop.

natural environment:

The first thing I thought of when I thought "negative space in nature" is a plain grassy field.

broadcast:

Negative space around the area that is not widescreen on this fullscreen 4:3 footage presented in widescreen 16:9.

film:

Negative space behind the foreground to keep the attention on the photo.

automotive design:

Enough negative space to fit a driver.

human anatomy:

The skin around the tattoo could be considered negative space.

web:

The most visited website online uses mostly negative space, with the logo and search underneath in the centre of the page.

magazine / comic / newspaper:

Negative space to match the title of this made-up magazine.

street signage:

Negative space behind the street name to enhance readability.
