  2. A Good Page Layout: • Works • Organizes • Attracts Viewers

  3. A Good Layout Works • It does what you set out to do. • You have to know the purpose of a piece before you begin to design and lay it out. • Getting the answers to a few simple questions up front will give you clear guidelines for creating a good, functional piece. • What is the purpose of the piece (the message the reader should get)? • Who is the audience? • Where will it be seen (or how will it be distributed)?

  4. Tips to Help Your Layout Work

  5. A Good Layout ORGANIZES • It maps out a visual path for readers to follow - it shows what comes first, second, third, etc. • If readers have to work at reading your message, they won't bother. Arrange and emphasize information to make your message as clear as possible.

  6. Tips to Organize Your Layout(not always use all these guidelines for every design)

  7. A Good Layout Attracts • Grabs your reader's attention and pulls them into your piece. • A piece cannot communicate unless it gets noticed. To get noticed, it has to stand out from the crowd by being different from everything around it. • Depending on the piece, that can mean being startling, pretty, surprising, entertaining, unusual, or simple and direct. How do you know which one to choose? • The approach you use depends on the audience and environment (where it will be seen.) For example, a person wearing bold colors would not stand out at a beach party but would definitely turn heads at a black-tie formal affair.
