6 Golden Rules Of Layout Design You MUST OBEY

Do you know and follow these 6 GOLDEN RULES for layout design? I’m going to demonstrate these rules that every designer should follow, and also show you why they are so crucial within layout and graphic design.

I do have a few ‘golden rule’ type videos on this channel, and today we delve into the precise and elegant world of layout design. Layout design is a neat and tidy sector of graphic design, but all of these golden rules can be carried over into other aspects of graphic design. I take you through each of the 6 rules in todays tutorial, show you what they mean and where they are used, as well as why they are important to adhere to.
If you would like to see more videos geared towards layout design, or similar subjects for that matter, please do let me know. Also if you dig these golden rule video tutorials, then also let me know and I will make more of them in the future on this channel.

I love white space, however clients don't😩

[hennwei]

Lol. My clients would love the giant logos + giant text.

Dude this is so great! I am a self-taught designer and I've been using these rules for a long while but without noticing. It is so nice to be able to list and label these rules in my mind and sort of create a checklist to never break a rule.

My fellow designers, when a client tells you to fill that sweet empty space with something, it is your job aswel to tell them that they don't want their brand to look amateur.
Clients are not designers and when you explain shit to them most time they agree and end up having an even better opinion about you.
Stay firm, you are the professionals not them, clients say the most absurd stuff... teach them a bit.

Balance. Alignment. Repetition. Contrast. Proximity. Focal point. Space. Hierarchy. Concepts that can be used to improve any area of your life.

Six Golden Rules That Clients Hate. ;)

[speterlewis]

Your videos are absolutely top rate. They've helped me greatly develop as a designer (even though I've been doing it professionally for 30 years). And you absolutely have the most soothing and pleasant narration voice any of us have every heard.

6 rules you MUST OBEY... until the client specifically directs you to muck it up

[maximusdoomed]

CRAP!!! I gotta watch this at least TEN TIMES!!! Totally badass accurate and clean video and communication. Satori perfect!!!

[wuniwanzi]

client：“wanna see a colorful black and vibrant white！”

[CoolGuyDesigns]

Make it bigger. Make it pop. Even bigger. What are margins?
- every client

[RedFox-styw]

Sometimes i come to satori when im stuck or feeling impostor syndrome and he uplifts and lets me see my design better

[aoyamaprivacc]

Thank you, i'm about to learn about layouting and then the video popped up. God bless you

[thepresence]

You are becoming the best graphic design channel by far.

[coldqueen]

This is great content! Awesome as always, Satori.

[Bmacorr]

Your videos are great. Really appreciate the effort and quality you devote to them, can't believe I wasn't subscribed sooner! I work in engineering where graphic design skills are greatly lacking, your videos have literally helped me switch from doing frustrating layouts in Microsoft Word, to start creating more bespoke and original graphic design templates for my work and I've been able to get some of the people on my team more excited about this as well. 👍

RULE 01. Interesting, but when you work with a client, 80-90% will pick option A. They want logo BIG, the text BIG, all the text BIG if possible. And I worked with more than 500-600 clients (sometimes even with big clients). I saw the same idea of using negatice space at John Mc Wade

[BernardWilliams]

Great information Sir Tom for those who just need a friendly reminder. As always, have a great day.
