Overview
What you'll learn
- Spot what actually makes a layout feel messy
- Group related information using distance
- Decide where white space goes and how much
- Turn a crowded A4 notice into one that reads at a glance
A cluttered layout usually does not have too much on it. Everything is just the same distance apart.
Using a single A4 page as the practice ground, this course goes from alignment to grouping to white space, turning a crowded notice into something people understand at a glance. Made for anyone who builds their own slides, flyers or reports. No design software needed.
