: How would you describe/label the ability to do good layout (in the old Desktop Publishing sense) When I am searching for designers, I find that an important skill is "layout" in the old DTP

@Samaraweera207

Information Architecture is a modern description for the skill that people use to organise layouts with a methodical, sometimes scientific approach.

It is used for developing usability and structural aesthetics, the latter of which is more relevant to what you're asking about.

Yes, it's still referred to as layout.

In some cases "page design" may be used, but that generally is geared more toward web design.

Essentially you layout a print design whereas you design a web page.
