Figure/ Ground and Framing: Ryan P Schimack

The visual example primarily consists of typographic elements as well as positive and negative space. This picture strongly emphasizes negative space to highlight the positive space which is the type. There is just enough positive space (black) that the reader can make out what the type says, which is a very unique style of displaying type. When it comes to cropping and framing, this picture is pretty self-explanatory, the type and positive space are centered in the middle of the picture which brings the readers eye right to it. This picture does not quite emphasize balance because of the overwhelming negative space, but it does give it a unique character because in most typographic pieces the positive space (type) is what is highlighted, in this case it is the opposite.
