Before you can apply a grid you must understand the requirement of the grid for the work to be produced.
- Start with small sketches.
- Make drawings proportionate to the final format.
- Consider the number of columns needed.
- You can subdivide a 2 column grid into 4 and a 3 into 6.
- Design a selection of thumbnails then enlarge a few to full size for further development.
Applying type...
- The first line must fit flush to the lop limit of the column grid.
- Use same leading in body copy.
- 10 point type = 15 point leading.
- Column length 15cm loosely means 15 point leading.
- Line up grid to the proportions that the leading dictates.
Font Heights...
- 3 lines of 4 point type with 6 point leading will be the same height as 2 lines of 7 point type with 10 point leading.
Type and Picture, 8 Field Grid...
- A4+ Formats 8 & 20 fields.
- 8 field grids allow you to add text and image to one page.
- 20 Field grids offer a large scope for design.
