Study Task 5 - Grids

Grids

A grid is a network of lines used for generating form, arranging images and organising information.
The grid only becomes visible once objects are aligned to it.

Examples of grids in design that are:
Quiet
Grid is more active and assertive.

Type of Grids:

Multicolumn grid: 

• Provides flexible formats for publications that have a typographic hierarchy or need to integrate text with images.
• You can use the grid to articulate the hierarchy as it creates zones.
• Not all space has to be filled.
• Elements of varying width are staggered within the structure of the grid. Easier legibility.

Gutters are thin lines between columns.

Margines are on the outside of the publication.

Hang Lines are text or images that hangs from the same lines so that it's clearer and structured. 

Stacking are texts or images that work from above the same line.

Hiarchy:

In every communication, some text/messages will be more important than others. To put order to that you need to direct where this goes.

Modular Grid:

Josef Müller-Brockmann

• Consistent horizontal and vertical divisions from left to right. 
• These modules govern the placement and cropping of pictures as well as text.
• Was often used in Swiss Design by designers such as Gerstner.
