Disclosed systems and methods for the automatic creation of multiple layouts that maintain a design aesthetic of an input design document. In an example, a document processing application determines a set of document layout parameters such as balance or equilibrium from an input document. The application calculates, for each document layout parameter of the input document, a weight representing a prominence of the respective layout parameter. The application selects templates having an output size and a number of object containers equal to the number of objects of the document. The application further calculates a score for each template by applying the weights of the document layout parameters to the template layout parameters. The application further selects a template with a highest score and places the object on the template, thereby creating the new design document that maintains the design aesthetic.
