The Typographic Grid : Layout Design Network Composition

The grid system is a powerful tool for layout design, which combines the rigorous logic of the academic school with the efficiency and flexibility of modern tools. With the help of the grid, designers can orderly adjust the layout ratio, design visual elements, and create ideal layout effects according to needs. In this book, Hans Rudolf Boshard, the leading figure in the German design industry, deeply studies the historical roots of the grid system, and systematically expounds the principles and uses of the grid system. Taking 24 classic design works such as books, posters, and exhibition catalogs as examples, he used grid theory and mathematical tools to conduct precise and meticulous analysis of the relationship between proportions, spacing, fonts, images and texts in the works to ensure rational design. The method reveals the hidden beauty of grid order in excellent works, and also conveys to readers the rich and varied application methods of grid in layout design.
