White Space

By , About.com Guide

Definition: White space is the absence of text and graphics. White space provides visual breathing room for the eye. White space is more than just large empty places on the page, it's also the overall airiness or density of the page including space between lines of type, text offset around graphics, size of margins, and heaviness or lightness of the fonts.
Also Known As: air | breathing room | empty space
