Use publishing software to create single- and multi-page layouts. Apply and build on compositional techniques learned in the introductory course, including the rule of thirds. Describe the elements of a page layout, including headings, body text, illustrations, frames, color schemes, and white space. Identify and use layout tools such as a grid system, guides, margins, columns, gutters, and rows. Distinguish among measurement and layout terminology such as picas, bleeds, and slugs. Based on a project’s theme and the medium of the final product, create comprehensive layouts properly integrating page layout elements, design principles, and compositional techniques.
