A great use of white space can help make a layout look streamlined and simple.  One tip I like to keep in mind for these layouts is to use the rule of thirds.  This means drawing invisible lines to divide your page into thirds and placing the focus of the page onto one of those lines.  It will help keep the design of your page nice and clean.
