This negative space design from illustrator and artist Ale M is a subtle
and wholly beautiful offering that shows a splash of colour can make all
the difference. We love the clever use of perspective.

The white arrow between the E and the X is piercing once seen. This
'hidden arrow' conveys the dynamic attributes that maintains FedEx
leadership. The logo has won ample design awards and is constantly
featured in 'best logos' lists. The logo was originally designed by Lindon
Leader in 1994, he feels the sole purpose of branding is to facilitate the
realisation of a client's strategic marketing objectives. The work his
studio creates "is not decorative or cosmetic".

> Clever use of negative space to have the maximum impact (not
literally)
We're used to seeing highly creative and quality work come from
worldwide ad agency Leo Burnett (http://www.leoburnett.com.br/). So
it's no surprise that the team in Brazil have come up trumps once again
with this brilliantly clever new campaign for car manufacturer Fiat,
which encourages drivers not to send text messages while drving.
A series of three prints, a large white letter R, N, and F are accompanied
by a graphic of a little girl, dog, and bus respectively, each illustration
creating the defining shape of each letterform. The taglines state: "You
either see the letter or the dog (bus, little girl). Dont text and drive."
This is a fantastic example of how clever use of negative space can make
a big impact. The stark contrast between black and white creates
beautiful silhouettes of the girl, dog and bus hidden within the type. An
innovative idea that really drives home the dangers of texting while
driving.

'negative space style'. Using a limited colour palette, Bar carefully crafts
and places positive space to give the negative space another meaning.
Using the bare minimum to communicate his message, Bar's distinctive
work has gained him international recognition and work with leading
companies including Vodafone, Coca Cola and the BBC.

> Designer George Bokhua takes the art of negative space to new
places
Working in monochrome and making the most of his negative space,
George Bohkua (http://dribbble.com/george-bokhua)'s created these
adorable animal characters. The simplicity of the designs make their
impact that much greater - it's definitely a case of 'less is more'.
Bokhua has also created a series of animal marks, as well as some great
typographic logos, in the same style as these negative space
illustrations.
