What are the main forms of layout design?

There are three common forms of layout design. 1. Classical layout design. This is a format design form established by some European book design artists represented by Gutenberg in Germany more than 500 years ago. It has the characteristics of elegance, balance and symmetry, and has been used ever since. This design form is characterized by symmetry around the mouth, and the standard of word spacing and line spacing is unified. The ceiling, feet, stitching and flanging all form a protective frame according to a certain proportion. There are strict corresponding standards for the depth of text ink and the black-and-white relationship of pictures embedded in the core. Second, grid design Grid design originated in Switzerland in the 1930s. This is a method of layout design using fixed grid: the height and width of the plate center are divided into one column, two columns, three columns or even more columns, thus a certain standard size is specified; Use this standard size to control and arrange articles, titles and pictures, so that the layout forms a rhythmic combination, and the unprinted part becomes the background of the printed part. Grid design uses artistic laws such as proportion, force field, center, direction, symmetry, balance, blank space, rhythm, contrast and segmentation to achieve ideal design results. The formation of grid design style is inseparable from the profound influence of architectural art, which uses the mathematical proportional relationship. It has the characteristics of close coherence and rigorous structure. If we only consider the structure of the grid and ignore the flexible application, the grid will become a constraint, resulting in a rigid layout. Therefore, it is particularly important to creatively apply grid design in modern design. 3. The breakthrough of scientific and technological achievements in freeform design and the emergence of laser phototypesetting technology are the prerequisites for the birth and development of freeform design, especially the popularization of computer plate-making technology. Let free-form design become an irresistible trend. The representative of freeform design is American designer David Carson. He changed the rules of font and writing, broke through the boundary between people's original understanding of layout design and traditional design, and created an epoch-making new design concept. Of course, free-form design must also have its own formal rules. This is the core of borderless, the fusion and deconstruction of words and graphics, the local unreadability and the variability of fonts. 1. Boundless core. Free layout design is different from the strict symmetry of classical structure and the columns in grid design, but it is arranged freely according to the contents of characters and graphics in the design object. The space occupied by physical objects is as important as blank space, regardless of head, feet and gaps. It can give readers rich imagination. 2. Word and picture are integrated. This is to regard characters as a part of graphics, take this "word picture" as a picture, and use formal beauty such as rhythm, rhythm, verticality, inclination and realism to realize the integration of words and pictures; Text can also be superimposed and overlapped to increase the thickness and level of the space. 3. Deconstruction. This refers to dismembering and destroying the classical typesetting order, thus reorganizing the new layout. This is in line with the post-modernism trend of artistic creation and graphic design. 4. I don't study locally. This is the pursuit of higher realm in modern design, and it is the combination of functional beauty and harmony. For example, David Carson often confuses words. Through the rotation and overlapping of words, the function of expressing meaning is greatly weakened, thus becoming a non-reading part. This is an artistic technique, which simplifies some information especially needed in high-information living environment and strengthens others to achieve a high degree of unity between the two. 5. The variability of fonts refers to the full use of various font forms in the design, thus making the design full of the sense of the times.
