PosterLlama: Bridging Design Ability of Langauge Model to Content-Aware Layout Generation

Jaejung Seol, SeoJun Kim, Jaejun Yoo* ;

"Visual layout plays a critical role in graphic design fields such as advertising, posters, and web UI design. The recent trend toward content-aware layout generation through generative models has shown promise, yet it often overlooks the semantic intricacies of layout design by treating it as a simple numerical optimization. To bridge this gap, we introduce , a network designed for generating visually and textually coherent layouts by reformatting layout elements into HTML code and leveraging the rich design knowledge within language models. Furthermore, we enhance the robustness of our model with a unique depth-based poster augmentation strategy. This ensures our generated layouts remain semantically rich but also visually appealing, even with limited data. Our extensive evaluations across several benchmarks demonstrate that outperforms existing methods in producing authentic and content-aware layouts. It supports an unparalleled range of conditions, including but not limited to content-aware layout generation, element conditional layout generation, and layout completion, among others, serving as a highly versatile user manipulation tool.
