Grid System


Grid is a great aid in graphic design. It creates guidelines for contents. Max Bill which is mentioned in my last post is one of the early graphic designer from Swiss School influenced the idea of Grid.

Grid divides a page into columns and rows. Using left or right alignments on text block, designer apply contents on to the grids to create well structured layout.

The image is an example of poster design with grid system applied. (5 columns and 7 rows, source: wikipedia)
