Graphic Design vs. Layout
Design is a plan of creating an idea through a combination of texts, images,
and other elements that are placed together artistically, whereas, the layout is
a term
used as the process of organizing and arranging these elements in a design as
you plot it in a paper.
Basic Principles of Design and Layout
1. Balance
It refers to the proper arrangement of the elements, which gives a visual
weight for the design. There are two types of balance, Symmetrical or
Asymmetrical.
Symmetrical balance is where the elements are equally distributed on both
sides of your design, technically a mirror-based design.
In contrast, Asymmetrical balance is a free layout where the elements can be
placed in any order or the opposite of symmetrical.
2.Emphasis
It refers to something that needs to stand-out or emphasize. When working
on emphasis, you can change the color, size, or even the element itself to lead
the eye to the focal interest.
3.Pattern, Repetition and Rhythm
The use of repetitive elements such as lines, shapes, forms, textures, space,
colors, font, style, and the like to create texture, movement, continuity, and
consistency of the design. It also makes the design formal and more
comfortable to read because of its uniformity.
4. Alignment
It refers to the proper placement of an element to your design, just like
invisibly placing or aligning your texts or images diagonally, vertically, and
horizontally. The standard texts or paragraph alignment we apply are center,
right, left, and justified.

5. Hierarchy
 It refers to the proper arrangement of the details such as text, characters,
numbers, and symbols. Changing its character size, thickness, spaces, or
even font type to stand out is its most critical features. By applying this
principle, it can help the viewer to recognize and navigate the highlight of the
event smoothly.
6. Contrast
It refers to the use of different or opposite elements such as sizes (large
or small), shapes (geometric or organic), spaces (negative or positive), form
(real
or abstract), colors (monochromatic, complementary, triadic, tetradic), texture
(smooth or rough), and values (light or dark).
7. Unity and Harmony
It refers to the relationship of the elements or the contents when you place
them together. The elements of the design must work together and agree to
its
meaning, theme, feeling, or mood.
Is the other elements of design can be repeated aside from color, header
style, and fonts?
Answer: Size
