In this session we looked at grids and how they are used within publication and we were given the task to outline the grid of a newspaper spread to get a better understanding of grids in context. Usually when doing any kind of work, layout was something i did by eye and i had never considered working to a specific grid. This task has made me realise how helpful and effective they can be in creating really nice, spaced out and balanced work.
This is an example of the kind of things we looked at, using more and more lines increases the flexibility within a design and personally i dont think it hinders design like a lot of people think as long as they are designed appropriately they can really speed up publication design as well.
