The page layout of a document is the manner in

which information is graphically arranged in the

space of the document, e.g., on a page. If the
appearance of the document is of concern, page
layout is generally the responsibility of a graphic
designer. Typography concerns the design of letter
and symbol forms and their physical arrangement in
the document (see typesetting). Information
design concerns the effective communication
of information, especially in industrial documents
and public signs. Simple textual documents may not
require visual design and may be drafted only by
an author, clerk, or transcriber. Forms may require a
visual design for their initial fields, but not to
complete the forms.
