The effective use of whitespace in design

Whitespace is the empty spacing separating or surrounding each design elements on a page or website. As an example the space between page elements such as images and text, the line height in the page typography and if a grid has been used the spacing between the columns.

Oddly enough the term whitespace does not necessarily mean actual white spacing but rather actual blank, empty areas between page elements – in other words nothing. The Effect Of Whitespace

Using whitespace is a great way to let your content breathe and provide the user with a great experience, for example by utilising whitespace effectively whilst setting up your page typography you can make the type much more readable and improve how the content flows through a page.
