Elements of Graphic Design-Layout and Composition
Layout and composition are the main parts of design. They help organize your work and make it easier to understand. Composition is about how you arrange your content—whether it's text, images, or other design elements. Without a good layout, your design would not make sense or look good. Use these pages as a guide to learn about layout and composition in graphic design. Discussions and student questions are embedded in the pages. There are also printable versions at the end of the slides.
