Grids

Designers use grids so they will have control over all visual elements that are composed on a surface. A pathway is created throughout the design that relays information to the viewers. The horizontal and vertical divisions of space allow the designer to create an organized template. The benefits of using a grid are that they vary in size and shape. They have modeled after structures and systems found everywhere including art, music, and nature. As stated in the layout workbook, a grid is used by a designer to adapt, break, and abandon for the benefit of design.
