2. The Grid Layout The Grid Layout is where you divide the ground into equally‐sized rectangles or squares. These blocks and their tangent points represent areas where you want to place your elements. For example, a simple quadrant layout can help you to center the point of interest and then you can add other elements that create a more asymmetrical layout: Great for Movie Posters!!!

4. The Grid Layout continued A more complex grid layout uses larger type and is a little larger or set a little above the grid line space. Great for Music and Sports Posters!!

6. The Circular or Oval Layout This layout takes the viewer’s eye around the picture, and it often uses elements that are – you guessed it – circular. But, since the poster is often rectangular, the circle is often an oval. Great for Informational Posters!!

8. Vanishing Points and Dynamic Perspectives This type of layout uses perspective to create a focal point for a specific element. This layout can help you to also define the importance of various elements within your poster Great Big Impact Posters!!
