It was done in good taste, and also provided a lot of information. I'm glad this site focused on web designs. For all its simplicity, I think making use of white space as a primary design element is one of the hardest process in web designing. It is so easy to get it wrong and give your site the impression of being empty, or even disjointed. Practice is the key here, and of course looking at references. I agree, minimalism is the path to take during this stage of web designing. I encountered a book before in our library–I think it was a collection of designs that made use of white space.
