Space is the distance around or between items used to unify or highlight an image. Truly understanding space will better prepare the designer to better utilize it in framing design and when applying the factors of proportion, emphasis, and balance. The art must always remain the focal point, the first thing that is recognized and visually explored by the viewer.Īs for this month the study is in space. I have stated numerous times that it remains the job of the framer to enhance and protect the art, and never to sacrifice that art's dignity for a flashy design. It seems that all of we educators agree that needing to know the basics is only the beginning, and that comparing, studying, analyzing and critiquing completed designs may be an integral part to becoming a better framing designer. In this series I teach the depths of design from an academic side, and yes, it is up to each individual to better understand these principles and to put them to proper use. I read an interesting commentary on the net the other day in which it was stated that "anyone can be made aware of basic color and design elements and principles and from there it is a matter of making the framer's sense of aesthetics more sophisticated." There was also reference to a comment of mine on limiting the number of elements in relation to better controlling a design as greater sophistication is being learned and achieved.
