ALDA: An Adaptive Layout Design Assistant for Diverse Posters throughout the Design Process

Layout generation is important in the field of graphic design and has attracted intensive research attention recently. To further prompt human-computer interactions, we construct the ALDA to assist users throughout the design process, which achieves adaptive and diverse content expansions upon only one element for beginners and generates high-quality posters subsequently. Specifically, to obtain diverse contents, we propose aesthetic-aware design graphs (AGs) for effective poster representation and propose a self-constrained blending strategy upon related examples. In addition, we build a novel layout generator to better arrange elements conditioned on our AGs. Finally, we implement ALDA as an online tool with a set of controllable factors to enhance its practicality.
