See where the focal point sits.
Move a focal point over a rule-of-thirds guide to judge the composition.
Rule-of-thirds preview
The thirds grid is a starting framework, not a rule that every composition must obey.
Before you finish
A quick check makes a better result.
OutMonkey is built to be simple enough for someone doing this once and useful enough for someone who does it every day.
Good to know
Judge it at presentation size.
Step back from the screen or view the slide full-screen. A layout that looks fine while editing can feel crowded when it is projected or viewed from a distance.
If the result is for someone else, open it once as they would see it. That simple check catches a surprising number of tiny mistakes.
In plain English
You do not need to be an expert.
Grids and spacing rules help organise a page, but they are not laws. If something looks obviously off, adjust it rather than forcing the layout to obey a number.
A grid is a starting structure, not a reason to ignore optical balance.
