Grids in Graphic Design

Grids, the ninth book in the Literatür® Graphic Design Fundamentals Series, explains how one of the most important topics in the history of graphic design is used in contemporary applications. The book treats grids not as a limitation, but as a path to creativity. The chapters are written as guides that show ways to deal with problems you will encounter as design problems, rather than lists of instructions for use. The book Grids explains key points such as types of grids, their arrangements, form and function, page anatomy, measurements, proportion, hierarchy, typography, images, columns, visible grids, scale, axis, and online grids. The book examines exercises that include the learning principles of successful names, including some of the most important names in the design world such as Armin Hofmann, Josef Müller-Brockmann, and Jan Tschichold; interviews from the industry, a glossary, and numerous contemporary graphic design examples. Solving design problems in this way provides clues that will pave the way for creativity and strong expressions. Grids is a very useful, both theoretical and practical resource that can be utilized by students studying in departments such as graphic design and printing, fashion design that directly use graphic design, as well as professionals in every sector that uses printing applications: Terrific!
