Page layout

Page layout is the arrangement of text, images, and empty space on a page. It organizes visual elements to guide attention and make information readable.

Grid (graphic design): A system of intersecting guides used to align and organize elements in a design. Grids create repeatable alignments for text and images across a page.
Gestalt psychology: A field studying how people perceive organized patterns and wholes from visual elements. Grouping and proximity explain why separated page elements can appear related.
Editorial design: The design of publications such as books, magazines, and newspapers. Editorial design uses page layouts to organize long-form text and images.
Graphic design: The practice of using visual elements to communicate messages and information. Page layout is one part of the broader practice of graphic design.
Margins (typography): The blank areas surrounding the text block on a printed or digital page. Margins define the text block’s boundaries and leave room around content.
Proximity (design): A design principle in which spatial closeness suggests that elements are related. Spacing signals which text, captions, and images belong together.
Web design: The design of websites and their visual and interactive presentation. Web pages adapt layout to screens, interaction, and changing content.
Information architecture: The organization and labeling of information to support understanding and retrieval. Information architecture organizes content conceptually; layout arranges it visually.
Typography: The design and arrangement of type to make written language legible and expressive. Type choices and spacing shape the page’s visual hierarchy and readability.
Reading pattern: A recurring path the eye follows when scanning or reading visual information. Layout can encourage common scanning paths, including left-to-right sweeps and vertical scans.
