• Abstract: We present iPoster, an interactive layout generation framework that empowers users to guide content-aware poster layout design by specifying flexible constraints. iPoster enables users to specify partial intentions within the intention module, such as element categories, sizes, positions, or coarse initial drafts. Then, the generation module instantly generates refined, context-sensitive layouts that faithfully respect these constraints. iPoster employs a unified graph-enhanced diffusion architecture that supports various design tasks under user-specified constraints. These constraints are enforced through masking strategies that precisely preserve user input at every denoising step. A cross content-aware attention module aligns generated elements with salient regions of the canvas, ensuring visual coherence. Extensive experiments show that iPoster not only achieves state-of-the-art layout quality, but offers a responsive and controllable framework for poster layout design with constraints.

  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.

  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.

  Graphic layout designs play an essential role in visual communication. Yet handcrafting layout designs is skill-demanding, time-consuming, and non-scalable to batch production. Generative models emerge to make design automation scalable but it remains non-trivial to produce designs that comply with designers' desires.

  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.

  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.
