Video on how to create a design that addresses the negative space:
IMPORTANT The compositions have to be abstract, non-representational. No people, flowers, hearts, cities, guns, trees, etc . Use large pieces of construction paper to create a “stage” or background for the design. Photograph these perfectly. No shadows, tints, edges showing. Presentation counts.

Things I noted:
Keep working on breaking out of the box and thinking of the picture plane as a window. Don't just fill the box.
Work on scale HUGE to TINY
Overlapping = Depth
Don't be afraid to have some open space. The eye likes to rest. Focal points work well when they are small and placed in the rule of thirds area.
Keep things out of corners.
Presentation is paramount. It has to be perfect.
