Information density

Thinking about :–

• Putting lots of space between big things makes them easier to read, lightens the cognitive load etc.
• It can even convey confidence in what one is saying
• But sometimes you’re building an interface with a lot of information
• Where the aim is to enable the reader to scan/interpret/use this information as efficiently as possible
• So putting lots of well-spaced, big things on the screen is counter-productive
• And conveys arrogance(?)/lack of understanding
• And annoys the user
• Even though the the look of the page may be noisy/dense/cluttered?
• (Looking at versus using again?)
