4. What is white space and why is it important?

White space is the space that exists, most frequently behind and around forms, in a work of art

or graphic design. When white space becomes a more active element in a design, it appears in

the foreground and is said to be “activated.”

White space is important because it refines a design and gives the other elements, image and

type, room to exist. Ignoring white space is like ignoring the room in which you are positioning

furniture. You can do it, but it isn’t exactly the sign of a professional room decorator.
