Negative space is an important aspect of graphic design. An equivalent of this is the Zen idea that the essence of a bowl is the part that is missing. Apply this idea to the graphic technique of using only negative shapes and visualize three of the following subjects: salt, ghost,
cloud (s), whipped cream, Moby Dick, Jaws, sugar, polar bear, flour, smoke, vanilla ice-cream
cone, and steam. The actual subjects themselves should not be drawn. Only the negative space can
make for visually intriguiging solutions. As a design consideration, the chosen images may be cropped.
Use the smaller areas indicated for preliminary drawings and the larger areas for final executions.
