This video on you tube gives a couple of explanations and examples of positive and negative space. It helped me better understand the material because I was able to see the examples and hear the voiceover explain what the negative and positive space is.

This page goes into depth about space as discussed in Chapter 3 and has more images so it is easier for me to see the positive/negative space for example.

Within the video are several examples of positive space and negative space in designs, detailing how both work hand in hand in creating a dynamic aesthetic. 

Negative Space Visuals

This website not only covers several aspects of Computer Imaging, it describes illusionary space and even gives a visual of the difference between illusionary and flat. Visuals always help me to better understand the material being taught.

This article gives a description of how space can be used in web design. It then goes on to give some great examples of how it is used in popular websites.

Remediation: An example of remediation, done by a student, focusing on Space Invaders. Very fun and helps to accompany the idea of the text; one media being represented through another, as well as the response of traditional media in an attempt to challenge new or newer media.

JayDax website is developed by a husband wife team, (John and Shelia Chapman) http://www.jaydax.co.uk/lastsupper/lastsupper.htm Rhetorical Analysis: This is a painting of the Last Supper painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. The purpose of this painting is to depicting the scripture in the Gospel of John 13:21,, in the Holy Bible. The targeted audiences are people who are Christians, artist, bible and historian scholars. Understanding the individuals in the painting are biblical, namely Jesus Christ in center of painting establishes a portion of the targeted audience, and the fact that it is a well known painting of Da Vinci establishes the art and historian scholar audience. Design Analysis: The painting is very good example of visual weight. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical balanced are use. Jesus is centered as well as the arch in the center of the table and the apostles are depicted on both sides of Jesus using symmetrical balance. When examining the table setting of the food symmetrical balance is used. Other examples of symmetrical balance are the rear windows, the gridded ceiling. All of these examples convey the definition of symmetrical as history, dignity, and formality. Asymmetrical balance in seen in the arches, one side is colored in and on side white space is used providing contrast and visual weight. Although the panels on the wall are symmetrical the contrast used on the left side provides an unequal, asymmetrical, balance.
