Layout

Layout is the arrangement of content within a screen. It determines which elements sit together, where attention goes and how a page is scanned.

The Design journal illustration uses column guides to align a large photograph, smaller images and supporting copy. The grid provides shared edges and spacing without making every item the same size.

Choose a structure that suits the content and task. A grid is a useful organizing tool, not a guarantee of good composition; check that the layout still works when text wraps or the viewport narrows.
