Layout
• Process of planning and arranging graphics or
text in a page or book .
What makes up a GOOD Layout?
• Symmetrical- there are equal weight of
elements on both sides of the page. The
layout maybe left braced or right braced.
Good Layout
• Asymmetrical- there is an artistic and
different intensity on one side of the page.
Good Layout
• Text- the text type should be legible,
appropriate font face.
- arranged either left justified, right
justified or centered.
Good Layout
• Image- should be proportionate, with sharp
color and high resolution.
- should have captions.
Good Layout
• Proximity and Harmony- elements should be
close together and not scattered and not
arranged apart from each other.
Good Layout
• Consistency- there should be uniformity of
theme on each page.
Good Layout

by providing variety in design like the use of
color contrast and shape.

in a page.
Principles and Basic Techniques of
Image Manipulation
Background Color
• You can change the background color if it
doesn’t match the image or the totality of
presentation.
Multiple Images
• You can combine multiple images to make a
point or use to highlight your message.
Shadow
• Using shadow will make the image realistic.
Proportion
• When combining images, resize the image to
make it proportionate and realistic.
Blending Color
• You can use color blending to match the
background with the other elements in the
page.
Texture
• Adding texture allows you to blend different
images.
Emphasis
• There should be a focal point to a page that
will attract viewers. The element you want to
emphasize should be the most vibrant among
each other.
Combining Text, Graphics and
Images
Combining
• Can be used in: presentation, infographics
and webpages.
• Makes your message clearer.
Transparent Shapes
• Add simple shapes with a slight transparency
behind your text to clearly see the text you
want to emphasize.

Example
Fonts and Shapes
• They should compliment each other.
