This go-to resource offers a seamless balance of design history, industry-specific terminology, and creative inspiration.- Sarah Johnson, School of Communication & Media, Kennesaw State University
I always assign White Space when teaching visual design, as it gives my classes foundational principles and a shared design vocabulary.

White Space has been incredibly useful as I teach my Media Design classes, and our students consistently say it's the best textbook they've ever had.
