whitespace

The article I have chose basically goes in detail about the importance of having white-space in your composition whether it be a flash document or a simple print design. It over the differences being that normal white space is the major sections that don’t include text or captions, those are referred to as micro-whitespace due to the face that it is a physically small white space between the words or what have you.
The article also explains in detail how white space will effect legibility. By using very simple fonts it will create more white space “Micro whitespace” to help with the reading. This will also give a very clean look to your page. But as a general overview of the article, it strongly points out how the tiny “itty bitty” changes to a document like changing fonts or moving object around so that they look “well balanced” is the key.
