Systems
One of the major tools of organization in page layout design is
the grid system. A grid is a system of vertical and horizontal
lines that help organize and establish relationships between elements
in a structure that can provide consistency and guide the development
of visual hierarchies. The use of a grid is not restricted to
a series of lines that create a simple three-column layout. A
grid is a flexible system of organization that can consist of
vertical and horizontal lines as well as circular and diagonal
lines that provide a means of organization that guide information
hierarchies and promote flexibility and consistency between multiple
pages or screens within the same structure. Grid lines rarely
appear in the final implementation of a design and are typically
used as systems of alignment throughout the design process. They
are used most often as a means of laying out various print publications.
The information is structured in a way that allows easy access
of the main content while providing expectation for the content
on subsequent pages.
