π¨ Design Tip: Try White Space for Cleaner Layouts
White space (or negative space) isnβt just empty space β itβs a powerful design element that enhances readability, creates balance, and makes your designs feel intentional.
β
Try this:
Increase padding and margins: Give elements room to breathe.
Limit text blocks: Break up long paragraphs to avoid overwhelming your audience.
Embrace simplicity: Let key elements stand out instead of crowding your canvas.
Remove content: If the design feels crowded, analyze the content and see what you can trim.
Next time youβre designing, take a step back and ask: Is there enough space for the design to feel clear and inviting? A little breathing room can make a big difference!
(Check out the nice white space in the quote belowπ)
