Grids, Layouts and Flow

This activity is an introduction to the invisible grids used within designs to allow objects to have some association with each other.

Part A - Find two examples of layouts, one that doesn't appear to follow a grid and another that does. Explain why you think they have/have not used a grid.

I believe a grid has been used for this layout due to the clearly visible columns. you can especially see it on the bottom left corner where the picture has been cropped on the side to fit the grid.

After playing with a ruler on this page, the only evidence I found of a grid was down the right hand side; however that did not repeat throughout the rest of the page. This brings me to the conclusion that this layout does not contain a grid.



Part B - Find two magazine layouts that appear to contain grids and indicate where you think the grids are.
