The Grid: In my design inspiration pile

Written by Maryellen Lazzaro on January 22, 2018

Grids are all around us. Think websites. Think even more about responsive websites. Think printed newspapers, magazines and catalogs. Think Mondrian. I have a dog-eared copy of Massimo Vignelli and Peter Laundy’s Graphic Design for Non-Profit Organizations produced in 1980 for The American Institute of Graphic Design (AIGA). It featured grids and not only mere grids but the gold standard of grids.

A grid helps to organize content (both text and visual). When a grid is formatted it also organizes the hierarchy of content.
