Introduction to Layout design

Design every time you develop a website or design any work, we need to be in the appearance of some effort. Behind every successful design, there is a need for a successful layout structure. For further explanation, we need to know some basic knowledge about the layout structure.

Layout structure

A layout structure is something that allows the viewer to understand clearly and easily the message conveyed by the work, an ingenious arrangement of different elements on different mediums. Here are some basic elements to design an excellent structure.

To build a good structure, you must observe carefully: learn to carefully observe the "structure" around you, such as trees, flowers, mountains, animals, pets, children and so on. Flip through magazines, books, leaflets, etc. and try to understand how graphics are made up.

What color scheme was used? Why? What type of font is used? Why? What effect did they have on the whole picture? Why? "Why" is a matter of priority and should be emphasized more.

After a lot of observation, you will learn what is good and what is bad. To enhance the effect of observation, you have to make a picture of the elements and the environment you want to express in your mind. This will assist in the design. This is actually a process that never stops.

Color sense

Many times, a good layout is corrupted by a color scheme that is incorrectly chosen. In fact, color scheme is a powerful weapon to sublimate a layout structure. If you use color carefully, you are likely to get unexpected results.

The choice of color depends on the "visual sensation". For example, female-related themes usually use pink, lavender, bright blue, or pink color. Child-related themes are usually colored with warm yellow, azure, orange, red, green or bright purple. The color of the medical-related theme is sea water green, emerald, dark and gray shade. Natural-related topics, or special color schemes contrary to social traditions, can use some warm colors, such as red, black, and bright yellow. Color schemes should vary by subject.

You can start by using the color signatures on the market and they offer different color schemes for different purposes.

Font

Jipai color scheme, the perfect and appropriate expression of your thoughts is "font".

Fonts are grouped into two categories: serif fonts and Sans-serif fonts. Serif fonts are made up of times New Roman, Caslon, Caxton, Souvenir, and so on. Sans-serif fonts are made up of Helvetica, Zurich, Verdana, and Arial. Serif fonts are often used as headlines and headlines, and sans-serif fonts are often used as text or repetitive information.

Using too many fonts in a plan can seem confusing and confusing. You should only have up to 3 fonts in a set of structures. One is used as a caption, one as a button and a small label, and one as a body.

Fonts can convey a lot of information, such as if you want to express "heavyweight Champions" using Futura Black or compacta fonts, because the fonts themselves look "heavy". In another case, if you want to express "the friction of feathers," then use a very light Caxton Italic font to express the effect of the feather.

The main and most important part of structural planning is "alignment" and "balance". You have to be very clear about the weight of words, colors, and pictures, or your layout will look unbalanced when you finish.

In some cases the layout can consist of more graphics and a few words. In this case, you can mix the pictures, use the abstract stitching, and the fertile place can be filled with text. In the beginning, we have to decide what to highlight, the text or the pattern? If you decide to focus on the pattern, the main part should be filled with a pattern and the text will occupy a relatively small layout. If you want to highlight text, use a large font as a topic, and then fill in the appropriate auxiliary pattern to complete your design to make it look balanced.
