Notan Design Project

This video tutorial demonstrates the NOTAN exercise, focusing on the interaction between positive and negative space. It guides viewers through the process of creating a balanced design using black and white paper, drawing and cutting shapes, and assembling the final piece. The tutorial also hints at more advanced NOTAN designs for future projects.
