White Space: Breathing Room for Design
White Space (or negative space) is the unmarked part of a design. It is not “wasted” space; it is a functional element that organizes content and improves comprehension.
White space acts as a palate cleanser for the eyes. It allows the viewer to process information in chunks rather than being bombarded by a wall of data. An iconic example is the Google Search page; by using vast amounts of white space, Google directs 100% of the user’s focus to the search bar.
