Through detailed investigation of the principles behind grid design, this book informs and advances the reader's understanding of this key design component, allowing designers to compose grids with ease and precision for any situation. Case studies, concise text, technical explanations, and diagrams, plus a reference section set on a series of different grids, make "Basics Design: Grids" a must-have for graphic designers everywhere.
