• Abstract summary: We introduce Attribute-conditioned Layout GAN to incorporate the attributes of design elements for graphic layout generation. Due to the complexity of graphic designs, we propose an element dropout method to make the discriminator look at partial lists of elements and learn their local patterns. We demonstrate that the proposed method can synthesize graphic layouts conditioned on different element attributes.

• Abstract: Modeling layout is an important first step for graphic design. Recently, methods for generating graphic layouts have progressed, particularly with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). However, the problem of specifying the locations and sizes of design elements usually involves constraints with respect to element attributes, such as area, aspect ratio and reading-order. Automating attribute conditional graphic layouts remains a complex and unsolved problem. In this paper, we introduce Attribute-conditioned Layout GAN to incorporate the attributes of design elements for graphic layout generation by forcing both the generator and the discriminator to meet attribute conditions. Due to the complexity of graphic designs, we further propose an element dropout method to make the discriminator look at partial lists of elements and learn their local patterns. In addition, we introduce various loss designs following different design principles for layout optimization. We demonstrate that the proposed method can synthesize graphic layouts conditioned on different element attributes. It can also adjust well-designed layouts to new sizes while retaining elements' original reading-orders. The effectiveness of our method is validated through a user study.

  We use text as the guidance to create graphic layouts, i.e., Text-to-labeled, aiming to lower the design barriers. Text-to-labeled is a challenging task, because it needs to consider the implicit, combined, and incomplete constraints from text. We present a two-stage approach, named parse-then-place, to address this problem.

Generative models emerge to make design automation scalable but it remains non-trivial to produce designs that comply with designers' desires.

We construct a large-scale advertisement poster layout designing dataset with delicate layout and saliency map annotations.

  We generate graphic layouts that can flexibly incorporate design semantics, either specified implicitly or explicitly by a user. Our approach builds on a generative layout model based on a Transformer architecture, and formulates the layout generation as a constrained optimization problem. We show in the experiments that our approach is capable of generating realistic layouts in both constrained and unconstrained generation tasks with a single model.
