Negative space can be a real positive for your boat decals
This can be especially true if your boat decals are advertising your business. Many people feel the need to cover the entire decal with their message, however studies have shown that negative space, or white space (the parts that don't have words or pictures) play a key role in how much people comprehend of the message. If there is no blank area the eye doesn't focus on one thing. It is drawn in too many directions and has no point to focus on. Negative space is important to getting your message read.
Once you have your design created, you should step back and look at your monitor. Does the decal look crowded? If it looks crowded on your monitor, it is going to make it even harder to read as boat decals. If you want someone to be able to see or read your decals, even if you are moving in the water, you need to make it easy for them to focus on the message. This is key to helping you make the most of your boat decals.
