If the main text is stuck to the edge, which visual element should be corrected first?

Correct answer: Space and margin

Correct answer: C, space and margin. Text that touches or nearly touches the edge has insufficient breathing room. In a poster, page, label, or other layout, the empty area between the text and the boundary is part of the design. It protects readability, prevents the text from feeling accidentally cut off, and helps create visual balance. The correction may involve moving the text inward, increasing the margin, adjusting alignment, or resizing the text block. A is incorrect because colour temperature concerns warm and cool colour relationships and does not create edge clearance. B is incorrect because form and volume describe three-dimensional appearance, not the spacing around lettering. D is incorrect because actual texture is a surface quality and cannot solve cramped placement. A useful warning is that even attractive typography can look careless when it is too close to an edge. Memory cue: edge crowding is first a spacing problem.
