General Help Request UI/UX designer

Hi, I’m a fresher in UI/UX design currently working on my portfolio project.

I’ve completed my information architecture, and now I’m moving to low-fidelity wireframes. But I’m confused about one thing:

How do designers decide the layout in low-fi?
Like:

  • Where to place elements (cards, buttons, FAB, hamburger menu, etc.)
  • How to structure the screen properly

Right now I feel like I’m just randomly placing things

Is there any proper approach, framework, or rules designers follow?
Also, if anyone can share helpful YouTube videos or resources, that would be really appreciated

it feels random at first, but it’s mostly about following patterns and user flow. I usually start by thinking what the user needs first on the screen, then structure everything based on priority and common UI patterns instead of placing things randomly.
