Introducing Design and Layout

Before you plunge into creating your awesome graphic, you may want to spend some time planning your design and layout.

Graphic design layout refers to the way in which we arrange the elements on a page which makes up the content of a design. The aim of layout is both to convey the message correctly and to present information in a logical, coherent way making the important elements stand out.

Layout in graphic design deals with the arrangement of visual elements so as to achieve specific communication objectives. When designing, the graphic designers should rely on the required information to present the layout properly, such as rotating and resizing the images, which requires time and efforts

Composition

In many ways, layout and composition are the building blocks of design. They give your work structure and make it easier to navigate, from the margins on the sides to the content in between.

Why is composition so important? In short, it's the way your content is arranged. It doesn't matter if you're working with text, images, or elements in a graphic; without a thoughtful, well-composed layout, your work would basically fall apart.
