Alignment

Alignment in graphic design refers to the arrangement of visual elements in a way that lines them up along common edges or around a central point. It creates a visual connection between elements, ensuring that text, images, and other design components are placed with purpose and consistency.

Proper alignment enhances readability, creates a clean and organized layout, and helps guide the viewer’s eye through the design. Common types of alignment include:

• Left alignment – elements are aligned along the left edge.
• Right alignment – elements are aligned along the right edge.
• Center alignment – elements are centered along a central axis.
• Justified alignment – text is aligned evenly along both the left and right margins.

Alignment is a fundamental principle of design that contributes to visual harmony and professionalism.
