This designer really understood the importance of space

Category: Design Rant, General / Tag: ,  / Add Comment

Like it or not, space is something we designers have a love-hate relationship with. It can be the key behind our most ingenious work and it can be our greatest bugbear (“there’s no way we can go to a 16-page brochure – you’ll just have to fit it into 12″…! Ring any bells, fellow graphic designers?!)

I’m fascinated by the use of space – whether it be how Jonboy managed to fit all the necessary information into the events brochure he recently put together for Exeter Phoenix, or the clever use of negative space in logo design. But space is an implicit issue in all kinds of design and those that really catch my eye are always somehow innovative or unique… like the interior designer that converted this rubbish truck:

Quality!

    Not as plush, but see http://www.azalai.co.uk too. Also a great design and has crammed a lot into a little space. Jim you’ll have to have a butcher’s when we take delivery in the early summer. Tis what we’re planning to use for our Africa trip in 2011 http://www.harris.gb.net

    Cheers
