Grids and Layouts










From looking at magazines such as Eye Magazine, Creative Review, Blueprint and ID magazine, I have learnt a lot about layout design. Each page in these magazines is layout according to a grid like the image shown above. These grids help with the position of images and type and the spacing on the pages. I analysed these double page spreads by measuring the components on the page such as the margins, the gutter/spine, the size of the page and gaps between text and image boxes. Then using these measurements I had gathered, I created a grid of the double spread in Adobe InDesign, so that I could recreate these pages later.
