Graphic design has a lot to do with contemporary learning. First off most of the tools we use to learn are created by some graphic designer that created the image and outlines the product to be put into production. When designing text books or power points the designer is going to use a format that will be conducive to learning. Some graphics make it easier to learn. For example if a diagram is made to describe a process in stead of describing it with words it may be easier to visualize how the parts of the process work together. When discussing page layout we must keep in mind the way we were taught to read. We read from left to right and if one made a text that read top to bottom or had some sort of strange layout for the text it would make it harder to read/learn the material. When used correctly the page layout can enhance ones learning by incorporating graphics, charts or diagrams created by a graphic designer.
