I found this picture on deviantART, as is the case with alot of the art that I see. It's called "Man With the Hat Gets Around". This one grabbed my attention immediately. First of all, I love everything black and white. I like being able to make good art that invokes thought and tells a story without using any color. I also like when things have a very high contrast such as this picture. Anyway, I think this picture is a very good illustration of what we've learned in class about Definition and the equal distribution of positive and negative space. Notice the man and the menu are both a very dark black and the window and counter are very highlighted. It makes for a perfect positive/negative balance of space. Also since the positive black space is distributed equally between the man and the menu, it keeps your eye moving because you know that the man is the main area of focus, but the menu keeps grabbing your attention because of the high contrast between the words and the background.
