Layout & whitespace

Grids, grouping, and the breathing room that makes work look senior.

The principles

  • 1 Group — put related things close, unrelated things apart (proximity).
  • 2 Align — a tidy grid reads as competence. Wonky spacing reads as sloppy.
  • 3 Breathe — whitespace isn’t wasted — it’s what makes the work look senior.
Grouping and spacing tell the eye what belongs together.
