A Brief Primer of Calligraphy and illustration - Part 12
Every document has a main point somewhere on the page. This is the place where the whole thing balances, usually where the most massive illumination is. Experience shows that the main point of balance should be somewhere in the upper part of the page. For some reasom the upper left corner is usually the best place, e.g. for an illuminated capital. There are other places that can serve as well, but it should be somewhere on the upper half. Don’t put the biggest illuminations at the bottom of the page - it will look as if they’ve fallen down!
