Making and Breaking the Grid
Making and Breaking the Grid: A Graphic Design Layout Workshop | Timothy Samara
5 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
For designers working in every medium, layout is arguable the most basic, and most important, element. Effective layout is essential to communication and enables the end user to not only be drawn in with an innovative design but to digest information easily. Making and Breaking the Grid is a comprehensive layout design workshop that assumes that in order to effectively break the rules of grid-based design, one must first understand those rules and see them applies to real-world projects. Text reveals top designers work in process and rationale. Projects with similar characteristics are linked through a simple notational system that encourages exploration and comparison of structure ideas. Also included are historical overviews that summarize the development of layout concepts, both grid-based and non-grid based, in modern design practice.

Translucent sticky notes are my latest obsession: highlighting and annotating without actually marking up the book, while still being able to see the words underneath.

dabbe That looks like a serious book, too! 🤩 4mo

“As an institutionalized metaphor for all that is right in the world—the intersection of heaven and earth made manifest in every object it governs—the grid has also been imbued with an explicitly spiritual quality.”

Kind of intense lol

Focusing on design now with my nonfiction read. I‘m excited to go through this workshop and hopefully get some practice in.

A new design book, specifically a workshop book. I‘ve been feeling a little uninspired lately, hoping this might inspire a new project for my portfolio.
