Today we critiqued our compositions with indesign, looking at how we utilized the grid and placed text inside of it. We had to keep in mind not to use too long of a line length and decent sized font for reading. We also needed to remember to avoid widows and other very obvious design errors.
Text and Grid Studies #2
Project
For today's class we were to recreate a whole new grid system to work with. The higher count of the grid system we used, the more design freedom we had. We were only to create a tabloid sized paper with right side facing pages. However we were not LIMITED to just a tabloid, we could change the size of the paper to whatever we thought would work.
Thoughts
Working with a grid wasn't very hard for me. I just think I limited myself with using low numbered columns.
I keep forgetting I can adjust the gutter width and the page size to whatever I want to use.
