The craze didn't last long. But unfortunately for the designer, the impetus behind that craze lives on. When you're printing a sheet of paper, it can be hard to justify leaving any of it blank. Well, as any designer knows, it just looks better. White space draws attention to whatever it contains.
White space provides context, organization, and a restful place for the eyes.
It can convey a variety of moods, from a mannered, classic arrangement of type to a dramatic spotlight for a photograph. Here you'll find white space, rot in the generic sense of open space of any kind, but in its literal sense. Open expanses of white. These projects demonstrate the power of white space -enough power, perhaps, to inspire amor vacui . A well-made arts publication is a metaphor for the organization of company it presents.
