Making & Breaking the Grid: A Layout Design Workshop
Without a clear, balanced layout, even the most interesting information is likely to be ignored. But balance doesn't have to mean boring - as cutting-edge designers are increasingly showing through exciting new deconstructionist looks.
Making and Breaking the Grid brings the common yet critical element of layout design to new levels of innovation.
This is both a practical workshop in traditional layout design, and a bold and inspirational guide to breaking the rules. In the first part of the book, designers learn the basics of working with layout grids for all types of projects, from advertisements to books to posters to invitations. Once they've mastered that process, the fun begins - as the second part of the book shows how to deconstruct the grid to create edgier, more interesting work.
