Composition & Layout

Composition and Layout

To me, design is less about making things “pretty” and more about making them understandable. The way we arrange elements on a page has a huge impact on what people notice, how they feel, and what they remember. In these projects, I explored how composition and layout can create rhythm, guide attention, and give meaning to content. It’s one of my favourite parts of design – quietly powerful and endlessly creative.
