Space

Everyone needs space. Everything needs space. This morning I was hoping to work on my project; however, all the classrooms with the software that I need for my project were occupied. Needing that space so badly and not having it made me realize the value of space in our lives.

Space is not only important when you need to fill something. Space is also valuable when you need a break from something. This is very evident in various communication materials. In different documents that we do, we should not be scared to use space. Space gives the users the following benefits.

• Space creates grouping for the information. Using space effectively helps our audience to identify where an idea belongs.
• Space gives audience the opportunity to pause and think of the information that were presented.
• Space makes documentation materials less scary. You might think that using space makes your material look like it has nothing valuable to say or it contains very little information. I think that’s not true. Space makes the audience feel that our material is something  that is easy to digest or go through.

So whatever you’re doing, always remember to use space. You might also need some personal time and space before starting your project!
