Layouts, Spacing, and Grids

  • Session: Layouts, Spacing, and Grids

    Lesson Overview

    Layouts, spacing, and grids are the backbone of structured and visually balanced design. They provide the framework for organizing content, guiding user attention, and ensuring consistency across interfaces. In this session, learners will explore how to effectively use layouts, spacing, and grids to create intuitive and responsive digital experiences.

    Learning Objectives

    By the end of this session, learners will be able to:

    • Understand the importance of layout in user interface design.

    • Apply spacing principles to create clean, readable, and aesthetically pleasing designs.

    • Use grid systems to structure content effectively across different screen sizes.

    • Differentiate between fixed, fluid, and responsive grid systems.

    • Create layouts that enhance usability, accessibility, and visual flow.
