In which situation will positive space make visual weight too heavy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: One large dark object dominates a corner of the page.
Positive space is the area occupied by visible forms, and its size, darkness, and position affect visual weight. A large dark object concentrated in one corner attracts strong attention and can make that side of the composition feel excessively heavy, especially when the opposite side lacks a balancing element. Therefore option A is correct. Even distribution, balanced negative space, and a calm margin generally reduce imbalance rather than intensify it.
