Positive Space
" Positive space is the characteristic of a center that moves outward from itself,
seemingly oozing life rather than collapsing on itself
We may see it like ripening corn, each kernel swelling until it meets the
others, each one having its own positive shape caused by its growth as a cell
from the inside.
In poor design, sometimes, in order to give an entity good shape, the
background space where it lies has left-over shape, or no shape at all. It is
merely left over.
