Grids are not just for Math!

Think of a grid as the hidden building blocks of a great layout! Usually, grids are completely invisible, but they are so important in making sure that your page design is interesting and easy to read. Watch the short clip above to learn how they work, then visit some of the online magazines in the links below.

Can you find the invisible grid in each magazine?

• National Geographic - travel magazine
• Typographic Magazine - magazine created by students at CalTech
• Music at Yale
• Amsterdam Science
• Tau Science Magazine - student run science magazine
• VOGUE USA - Fashion magazine
• WIRED Magazine - UK version of Wired
• Lipstick Magazine - UK fashion magazine

Celebrate your work!
