The Importance Of White Space In Web Design With Examples
Almost every designer knows or should know that white space refers to the portion between the elements of a design and it is separated in active white space, which is intentionally left blank for the purpose of the design, and the passive white space, which is the byproduct of the design (for example: the space between the letters). Some designers don’t consider white space that important and you can see this best in their designs which most of the times are cluttered.
White space is really important for readability and usability because makes things easier to read. A space between the lines can do a lot of good to the reader, rather than having the words stuck together. The same principle applies when you want to focus the viewers’ attention to a certain element. Instead of using a bright color for it, you could just leave a lot of white space around it.

What Happens When You Add Color to Iconic Black and White Photos?
It's a little disorienting, to say the least. The best way I can describe the addition of color to famous black and white photos is that it looks more like a frame from a movie scene, than snapshot of real life. A little unreal.
It's obviously not as hilarious as uncropped iconic photos but adding color kind of removes the picture from its time in history. Do they look better? Possibly. But are the pictures as powerful? I don't think so.
