We propose design sequence formation (DSF) that reorganizes elements in layouts to imitate the design processes of human designers.

• Abstract: Content-aware visual-textual presentation layout aims at arranging spatial space on the given canvas for pre-defined elements, including text, logo, and underlay, which is a key to automatic template-free creative graphic design. In practical applications, e.g., poster designs, the canvas is originally non-empty, and both inter-element relationships as well as inter-layer relationships should be concerned when generating a proper layout. A few recent works deal with them simultaneously, but they still suffer from poor graphic performance, such as a lack of layout variety or spatial non-alignment. Since content-aware visual-textual presentation layout is a novel task, we first construct a new dataset named PosterLayout, which consists of 9,974 poster-layout pairs and 905 images, i.e., non-empty canvases. It is more challenging and useful for greater layout variety, domain diversity, and content diversity. Then, we propose design sequence formation (DSF) that reorganizes elements in layouts to imitate the design processes of human designers, and a novel CNN-LSTM-based conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) is presented to generate proper layouts. Specifically, the discriminator is design-sequence-aware and will supervise the "design" process of the generator. Experimental results verify the usefulness of the new benchmark and the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which achieves the best performance by generating suitable layouts for diverse canvases.

  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.

  We propose an Image-Conditioned Variational Transformer (ICVT) that autoregressively generates various layouts in an image. First, self-attention mechanism is adopted to model the contextual relationship within layout elements, while cross-attention mechanism is used to fuse the visual information of conditional images. 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.
