Document Summary
Quiz: a grid is a system that creates horizontal and vertical divisions on the page through a series of intersecting axes. The purpose of this is to allow diverse visual elements to coexist in order to communicate a message together and create movement on the page. The end goal is to create a composition that is cohesively structured and visually melodic: 5 features, flow lines are horizontal columns that divide the page into horizontal intervals, column intervals are divisions that reside between columns. Space of page is defined by the margins (divide active area into 1 column) Margins are the primary consideration, but one must make sure not to make it too narrow of wide: multiple-column grids: have several spatial intervals. Be careful too many divisions can be confusing: modular grids: extension of multiple-column grids. Add a horizontal flow lines, divide the page into spatial units/modules. Increase compositional flexibility: alternative grids: loose and organic.
