• Abstract: In this paper, we study the graphic layout generation problem of producing high-quality visual-textual presentation designs for given images. We note that image compositions, which contain not only global semantics but also spatial information, would largely affect layout results. Hence, we propose a deep generative model, dubbed as composition-aware graphic layout GAN (CGL-GAN), to synthesize layouts based on the global and spatial visual contents of input images. To obtain training images from images that already contain manually designed graphic layout data, previous work suggests masking design elements (e.g., texts and embellishments) as model inputs, which inevitably leaves hint of the ground truth. We study the misalignment between the training inputs (with hint masks) and test inputs (without masks), and design a novel domain alignment module (DAM) to narrow this gap. For training, we built a large-scale layout dataset which consists of 60,548 advertising posters with annotated layout information. To evaluate the generated layouts, we propose three novel metrics according to aesthetic intuitions. Through both quantitative and qualitative evaluations, we demonstrate that the proposed model can synthesize high-quality graphic layouts according to image compositions.

  We develop an autoencoder-based network architecture skilled in compressing heterogeneous layout graphs into precise, dimensionally-reduced layout representations.

  Existing text-to-image diffusion models struggle to synthesize realistic images given dense captions. We propose DenseDiffusion, a training-free method that adapts a pre-trained text-to-image model to handle such dense captions. We achieve similar-quality visual results with models specifically trained with layout conditions.

  Content-aware visual-textual presentation layout aims at arranging spatial space on the given canvas for pre-defined elements. We propose design sequence formation (DSF) that reorganizes elements in layouts to imitate the design processes of human designers. A novel CNN-LSTM-based conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) is presented to generate proper layouts.

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