Hot off the presses at A List Apart is “Whitespace“, perhaps one of the most interesting web design articles that I’ve read in a while. The article thoroughly covers the subject of nothing, inside and out. Designer Marc Boulton covers every aspect of nil, and covers it quite well.

Seriously though, the effect of negative space on design is quite fascinating. Boulton discusses:

• The feeling of elegance and sophistication that’s communicated by whitespace.
• The ability of whitespace to maintain balance and produce harmony among the elements of a design.
• Drawing the reader’s attention to specific elements using whitespace.
