play – noun#17: a space in which something, as a part of a mechanism, can move
As I post this month's definition of "play," I think about what it means to me. This one reminds me of white space. It's so important on a page. People forget about it like it doesn't exist. I had a coworker ask me why white was not a color in printing. I said, "It is. It's just already present on the paper and you have to work with it." She looked at me quite funny and just walked away, probably mumbling something about crazy designers. Here's to you white space, and all your purpose and poise.
