Learning Task 04: Identifying Negative Space


This is the main logo of the Yahoo 7 News station. The logo uses the negative space on the '7' graphic to indicate a difference perspective to each stroke, as if it were a piece of construction paper.





Built Environment:

This photo was taken outside our house on an overcast morning, and I decided that including the car in the frame adds to the theme of a built environment. The sky acts as negative space to bring attention to the house.


 



Natural Environment:

I took this shot over-looking my veranda at night which shows the view of Glenorchy. The negative space is clearly visible, as the city lights illuminate the darkness. The moon is a perfect portrayal of negative space. Since the moon is hidden and is casting light beneath the clouds, this seems to display a pattern of black negative space and orange.





Human Anatomy:

I feel that this Starbucks coffee logo, which I found on Pixabay, is a great example of negative space. The iconic 'siren-like' mascot uses the space to join the hair to the body while in a different perspective, it signifies gaps between the strands of hair.




My choice

This lava lamp photo was taken at home against a wall. I decided to use this wall colour because the negative space is a lighter shade of blue, which compliments the subject, allowing to amplify its bright colour hue.
