Negative space improves UX
Negative space serves several purposes on pages with a lot of text and images. The line spacing ensures the legibility and scannability of the page. The space between the elements creates the hierarchy of information. Having enough negative space allows the page to breathe.
When done correctly, negative space on web pages can significantly improve the UX. Moreover, users are more likely to return to beautiful, well-structured pages where they manage to find what they are looking for.
Pro Tip: Negative space should never be an afterthought — use it actively throughout your design process.
