For today’s class, we started with learning about different text grids in print and publication and how to identify these. First, we discussed the basic components of a grid such as a format, margins, flow lines, gutters, columns, and rows. Next, we discussed the different types of grids like-
- Manuscript Grids are used in documents, ebooks, pdf and presentations with lots of text.
- Column Grids are used for magazines to organize content in columns so it is easier to read.
- Baseline Grids are a bit more technical and are defined by the line in which the text sits. This grid creates a good reading rhythm for any design with lots of text.
- Modular grids are like a checkerboard that can display many things for easy access
- Hierarchical grids are mostly used on websites, organizing content according to their importance.
After understanding the different grids we moved on to looking at layouts in different magazines and publications and categorizing them. We were then asked to trace out these layouts on gateway sheets.
