Proximity refers to objects placed close together being perceived as a group. all images from Mastering Type by Denise Bosler Proximity spacing can be as close objects in direct contact, or as far apart as opposite sides of a page.

Over the last six months I’ve had the great pleasure to plan the 2015 HOW Design Live Conference In-house Managers track. I must admit this experience has been quite surreal because the first HOW Design Live Conference I ever attended was four years ago in Chicago. Along this journey I’ve met some truly exciting people. Alex will be sharing his insights on the future in-house with those managers attending the conference. I’m curious, what is your earliest creative memory and how has it manifested into your professional career? My mom was really my first real art teacher. For me, the feeling I get from solving problems and being creative in my professional work is the same feeling I had growing up drawing with my mother. It’s beyond crazy now to see photos of myself from that time.
