Types of Grid System Useful for Layout Making
A grid is an arrangement of horizontal and vertical lines that subdivide a page vertically and evenly into margins, segments & images. These lay the basis of a modular & systematic methodology to the layout, especially for multipage records, making the configuration process faster along with ensuring visual consistency between related pages.
Essentially grids are of four types, namely:
- Manuscript Grid
also known as a single column grid or a block grid.
It is the easiest grid structure of them all, they are useful for broad continuous blocks of text.
2. Column Grid
Column grids are made up of multiple columns inside a format. The width of the column should rely upon an element inside the format for example the text size.
3. Modular Grid
Modular grids are similar to column grids however they contain rows, they are great for projects that require more control.
4. Hierarchical Grid
Hierarchical Grids are often found to be used online, it is an odd grid that doesn't fit the formats of the other grids, the columns have a tendency to shift.
