Day 9: Close Together

Proximity says “these belong together.” Items placed close to each other are read as a group; items placed apart are read as separate. Organising information into clear groups with consistent spacing reduces the work a reader has to do — they can scan groups before reading lines.

Objective. Organise dense information into clear groups using spacing alone.

Design a poster for a community workshop day with three sessions, each with a time, title and host.

Invent the workshop day and three sessions. Present all the information clearly.

• No lines, boxes or dividers — space only
• One typeface
• Black and white
• At least nine pieces of information

• Three distinct groups visible at a glance
• Consistent internal spacing
• No dividers needed to understand the structure

Define a spacing scale (for example 8, 16, 32, 64) and use only those values.
