Graphic design is a form of visual communication that manifests through symbols, shapes, words, and images, relying on the designer's ability to imagine and generate creative ideas. It 0is not merely a profession—it is a way of thinking. Graphic design encompasses several concepts, one of which is shape, space, which we observe in logos, website designs, and illustrations. When used creatively, it gives the viewer the impression of hidden messages and offers the eye a place to rest.
This is evident in the works of Noma Bar, whose art is renowned for its use of space, distinguished by bold colors, shapes, and icons. This research explores how Noma Bar employs negative space to create images with both visual and conceptual depth, merging form and content in a way that condenses meaning and relies on smart visual interpretation
