Layoutchemy is a dynamic, web-based design tool that functions as an endless idea generator for Swiss Design (also known as the International Typographic Style). It's a playground for designers, typographers, and students who want to explore the principles of grid systems, negative space, and objective clarity. Built with JavaScript and styled with Tailwind CSS, this application generates unique, minimalist poster layouts on a "print sheet" within an interactive viewport. Each layout is created programmatically, placing titles, subtitles, paragraphs, and image placeholders onto a dynamic, multi-column grid. How to Use the Layoutchemy Tool The interface is centered around a single, minimalist "Generate" button, which expands to reveal more options on hover. Generate a New Layout: Click the central triangle button to instantly generate a brand-new, unique layout. This single click does two things: It creates a new composition of text and image blocks on the grid. It simultaneously randomizes the aspect ratio of the print sheet, cycling through formats like A4 (portrait/landscape), 1:1 (square), 16:9, and more. Navigate Your Canvas: The entire window is a viewport for your design. Pan: Click and drag anywhere on the screen to move the print sheet around. Zoom: Use your mouse's scroll wheel to zoom in and out, allowing you to inspect details or view the full composition. Refine Your Design (Action Menu): Hover (don't click) over the central triangle. Three new buttons will emerge, giving you more control: Save as JPEG (Top Button): Click the top triangle to download your current layout. The tool uses html2canvas to render a high-quality, high-resolution JPEG file of your design, ready to be saved or shared. Regenerate (Image-Heavy): Click the left triangle to generate a new layout with a bias towards larger and more frequent image blocks. Regenerate (Text-Heavy): Click the right triangle to generate a new layout that prioritizes text elements, such as titles and paragraphs.
