All my years as a sign painter, layout, proportion is very important, because you’ve got a given space which you have to go in and break up the space and you always work from the center out....I was always very sensitive to the negative space between the letters....because that got into composition, that got into making a statement that was fixed. And that statement had to have impact, it had to have certain rhythms and certain color combinations.
