Duties
Layout artists work with software, such as the page-layout systems InDesign. They determine the color and size of the type for the layout and the illustrations to be included. At times, the layout artist is the graphic artist who develops the design; at other times, the layout artist simply produces the graphic designer's concept.

Skills
Layout artists must be skilled at drawing because drawings often need to be included in a ---------- addition to having artistic abilities, the artist must also be exact and accurate in preparing layouts for production. The layout artist and most graphic designers must also be able to work well with others since interaction with clients, other designers, production people, photographers, and printers is often essential. Graphic designers sometimes need to be skilled at research since, increasingly, consumer information and knowledge is needed to design books and covers.
