This magazine article is a good example of a grid because it shows how you can evenly distribute things on a page. This article is split into two columns, which is made visible by the text. The pictures, however, are what makes this layout interesting. Even though they are still split up into two columns, they are sliced in half so there are two images in each column. This shows how a person can use grids to organize a layout since the two columns is what made it so easy to evenly separate the pictures. Without the columns it would have been more difficult to make each image the same size, and this way it is more organized and even. Grids are extremely important for a layout because they make a design much cleaner.

I like this layout as a grid system because it really shows how continuity can be achieved even with separation. The reader can clearly see the picture being formed by the individual slides. I also like how the pictures give a base for the text.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that this is a good example of the grid design. The text is cleanly framed at the top and bottom by the pictures and visual interest is added by dividing up the pictures evenly with the grid. The visuals alone make me want to read the article.
