layout 1. an arrangement or plan: We objected to the layout of
the house. 2. the act of laying or spreading out. 3. a
plan or sketch, as of an advertisement or a page of a newspaper or

of type and artwork. 4. (in advertising, publishing, etc.) the
technique, process, or occupation of making layouts. 5.
