Grids vary in size and shape from simple to complex, depending on the range and amount of information you are going to place on a page. In today’s article we are going to discuss the anatomy of the four main types of grids and their potential to enhance your design.Ī grid system is an aid, not a guarantee.Ī grid is made of one or more horizontal or vertical guides, that help you to arrange pictorial and textual elements on a page. With horizontal and vertical lines crossing the page you can create infinite numbers of grids, but only one would be appropriate for the design project at hand. A grid always works with, rather than against, the primary goal of the designer. It never dictates the design or its outcome. A grid is a tool to provide rhythm, order and consistency to your design. Place custom guides into the page and you will create a grid. An empty page is dull and boring, but it’s full of potential. The grid represents the basic structure of our graphic design, it helps to organize the content, it provides consistency, it gives an orderly look and it projects a level of intellectual elegance that we like to express. Nothing could be more useful to reach our intention than the Grid.
