Visual hierarchy
The order your eye travels a layout, set by size, weight, colour and space. It decides what gets noticed first - and what gets missed.
Whitespace
Whitespace (or negative space) is the empty area between and around elements. It is not wasted room: it groups what belongs together, guides the eye, and makes a layout legible.
