Gartner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like McKinsey\u2019s the text is aligned with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes discipline to become a pro graphic designer and alignment is the first thing you need to practice to be one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picmaker, a DIY design software, offers you additional options to align any design element to the top, middle, bottom, right, left, and center with respect to the artboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s talk about Whitespace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Whitespace<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitespace refers to the empty space around the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get it. Why the empty space is so important?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes when you are packed at work, you will feel desperate for some breathing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, also, applies to design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design needs breathing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A packed design looks cluttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the attention span of humans is being drastically reduced, the whitespace matters more than the content itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A space that allows your audience to breathe and draws attention to the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s experiment with it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which one is more appealing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 or 2?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first slide, the text is crammed against the boundary which makes it hard to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the second slide, the text has breathing space, hence easily readable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We often think flashy colors and bold fonts are the only way to draw attention to the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, surprisingly, that\u2019s not the fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White space can be the best way of drawing the viewers\u2019 attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Land Rover advertisement is epic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The creative twist to prove that the vehicle could pull more is another story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at the white space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You really don\u2019t need to add more text to explain more about the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the text \u201cPull More\u201d is more than enough to convey the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And generous white space drove the attention to the copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever thought that empty space could do wonders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta\">\n       <div class=\"title\"> Add your brand fonts based on hierarchy <\/div>
