Study Task 03
Grids

This morning we had an overview about grids used within editorial design and basic terminology used such as multicolumn, modular and baseline grids. We had a task of locating the grids in a newspaper layout and tracing them, I marked up the identity of the grid then evaluated the effectiveness and purpose of this in that medium.

This layout lets the information flow, the narrow columns give this design a simplistic style that is more enjoyable to read. All the text is in the centre of the spread, this gives the piece a more vocal point. This grid is effective because its in-complex and lets the columns flow down the page.
