Grids and Composition
During this lesson we had a lectorial about grids and composition.
What is a grid?
A grid identifies
– margins
– line length
– columns
– gutters
– modules
– baseline grid
A grid provides a
framework on which
to organise the
information on a page. A grid builds unity
between elements and
consistency between
pages. At the same time
allowing for a vast
number of variations. It simplifies both the
creative and decision
making process and
makes complicated
information
manageable.While the grid is
regular you can still
create a feeling of
space and freedom
within it. From this lesson I learned how important grids are and how by lining up the text to the imagery can better the aesthetics and guide the readers eye from the image to the text.
