Throughout the first book, an apple is used to demonstrate design principles. In addition to design principles, there is a section on how to portray movement and change.
Book One
At the left is an excerpt from the book: These are five small tricks, called removals that help to manage negative/positive space, as foregrounds interplay with backgrounds.
Also, introduced are the eight compositional devices, which are the backbone of The Design Code® Process.
