I'm 200 or so pages into layout and finding my rhythm. I can now layout a spread in 2-3 hours. Granted this is only initial layout and all pages are printed and tuned typographically before final review. But still, getting step 1 done fairly quickly is progress! #meggs7ed #graphicdesignhistory #designhistory #graphicdesign #bookdesign #pagelayout #typography

Managed to layout 3 spreads today (a PR!). The type and design system are coming together. Thinking we may have 500 or pages total once all is in place. There's something hypnotic about page layout and design production. And at the end of the day there's measurable progress. #designhistory #graphicdesignhistory #meggs7ed #pagelayout #graphicdesign #bookdesign. #typography.

Visual hierarchy (Cartography 🗺️)

Visual hierarchy, according to Gestalt psychology, is a pattern in the visual field wherein some elements tend to "stand out," or attract attention, more strongly than other elements, suggesting a hierarchy of importance. While it may occur naturally in any visual field, the term is most commonly used in design, where elements are intentionally...

Are there any scripts/automations out there for creating masonry or waterfall layouts in Apple Pages? Ideally I’d just select a bunch of photos, click a button, and they’d drop into place automatically in rows or columns.

If not, are there other tools that could assemble the layout in a PDF or other image/object that I could insert into a Pages document?

Map layout (Cartography 🗺️)

Map layout, also called map composition or page layout, is the part of cartographic design that involves assembling various map elements on a page. This may include the map image itself, along with titles, legends, scale indicators, inset maps, and other elements. It follows principles similar to page layout in graphic design, such as balance, gestalt, and visual hierarchy. The t...

Hmm,#OakKnollBooks sent me an email flyer for an artists book inspired (i think) by The Scarlet Letter. But i can’t buy it, the word spacing on page 28 is unacceptable.

Plus it costs more than our bank account.

@obsolete29 Look at the use of images in news coverage while you're at it.

I agree with you that such images add little informationally to posts. They may serve other functions.

People are innately visual. They're (on average) far less literate. We process visual data readily, textual ... not nearly so fast.

An image may be iconic. Literally in the case of religious symbology. National symbols. Celebrities. Indicia of wealth or prosperity (from money to gold to other symbols of abundance). Tribal signals.

There's little question that images can increase engagement. They may simply be a part of styling or branding.

That said, something that's increasingly annoying to me is "mobile-first" designs of news sites --- ft.com, nytimes.com, and reuters.com all come to mind --- making very heavy use of images. I view these mostly on a 13" e-ink tablet, and all that the images do is crowd real information off the sites. It's a nuisance.
