Whitespace in Your Design

Denis D. - Friday, July 08, 2011
Whitespace, also known as negative space, is the space between elements in a composition. Whether it is micro or macro, there will be whitespace in your work.

Micro whitespace helps with readability and legibility. Sometimes in web design, it is difficult to add whitespace due to content requirements. One way to deal with this is to go for a light typeface with as much whitespace around the characters as possible. While the overall result might seem subtle, the whitespace in the itty-bitty spots will have a big impact on your design.

No one wants to stare at a white screen. But, a lot of luxury brands opt for lots of whitespace in their designs. Instead of cramming on as much copy as possible, luxury brands use whitespace to create a sense of sophisticated, high quality, and upscale designs.

Whitespace is a necessity in good design, so make sure you practice, practice, practice. There are lots of techniques to incorporate whitespace in your designs.  Make sure you figure out how to make it work best for you and your brand.
