When I was shopping for a house I remember my realtor telling me some thing similar – you expect to find 2 of the 3, price, location and amenities. I found this to be true.

White space in design = comprehension, satisfaction
Posted in communication, creativity, learning on 02/20/2013 by mark novelliRan across this post from artist friend Paul Soupiset’s blog that he wrote a while back. Good stuff!
Well designed pages with ample margins and leading = reading comprehension, satisfaction.
Margin white space affected both reading speed and comprehension; participants read the Margin text slower, but comprehended more than the No Margin text. In general, the results favored the use of Margins. The manipulation of Leading did not seem to impact reading performance, but did result in lower satisfaction with the layout and perceived eyestrain when paired with No Margins. Forty-seven percent of participants chose the Margins, Optimal Leading layout as their favorite, while 50% of the participants chose the No Margins, Sub-Optimal Leading text as their least favorite.

This was the first round of concepts I recently did for a children’s ministry. They are rebranding as they move into a new space – which is themed around the idea of an airport. K-port is their name, with the K standing for kids.
I typically work in black and white for my initial concepts. I believe a strong brand design has to work in Black and White, and if it works in black and white, it also will work in color. Also, I do not want to sway the decision making process based on color.
Which one do you think they chose?
