    This course provides an in-depth study into the page layout - the arrangement of text and images on both printed and digital pages - as a primary tool used by graphic designers to communicate messages in a compelling and memorable way. The emergence of new media, from the Web to interactive eBooks, smartphones, and the iPad, has fundamentally changed the nature of page layout. While fitting static content on a finite page used to be a primary challenge for print layouts, today the task demands that designers incorporate scrolling Web pages, interactivity, sound, animation, movies, slide shows, and other elements that produce multiple dimensions and unlimited depth for a single page.
