white space

Space on a page or poster not covered by print or graphic matter.

Empty or open space in a print advertisement. Manufacturers of expensive or prestige products will sometimes use a lot of white space in their ads in an attempt to create a concept of luxury or elegance. Conversely, advertisements for discount products sold at discount variety stores seldom contain any white space.
