LAYOUT AND DESIGN EXAMPLES




    
This, in my opinion is a bad example of a layout because it’s just chaos. There is so much going on in this layout you don’t really know where to start. There are many different fonts which is an example of bad typography. It also has really bad balance problems, all the color on one side of the layout really creates uneasy tension to viewers and makes the layout seem unstable.



I would categorize this as an example of a good layout design because it provides good balance and is easy to follow with your eyes. The pictures are placed appropriately for good visual interest. Typography is on key as the font stays the same throughout the layout. The page tone is also very pleasant for, unlike the first layout, there’s not enough color to overwhelm you and the whitespace is balanced throughout the layout as well. Altogether this layout is easy on the eyes which will spark a reader’s attention.
