My own room literally has all the furniture pushed to the edges... and I really enjoy the freedom of having the free space in the center.

I think another thing to why you shouldn’t put the typography on edges is ( production process) when you print your work it might cut out some details of your typography. So don’t put typography on edges to avoid this problem.

This is a great representation on how to manage space within a piece. Great work.

I think the sideways text makes readability difficult. Readability is much more important than looks.

this gave me an idea, get an eye tracker and have people react to ypur design, then see the results
