Q.1. What is
a Layout Grid?
Ans. Grid is
a hidden force behind the layout that controls the the elements of
design. It helps in separating, connecting, and organizing contents
inside a layout. One grid is just for one purpose. A grid for
classical books is not a good fit for dance club website.
Q.2. Why
Grids in Layout are so important?
Ans. A
layout grid is the invisible force that gives the visible its
structure and holds everything in its proper place. Without a layout
grid, graphic elements will not properly work together. Always start
your design project with a layout grid.
Q.3. How
many types of Grids are there? Please explain with example.
Ans. Types
of layout Grids are:-
(1)
Manuscript Grid
(2) Column
Grid
(3) Modular
Grid
(4)
Hierarchical Grid
(1)
MANUSCRIPT GRID:- The manuscript grid is the easiest grid structure
of all. It is predominantly an extensive rectangular area taking up a
large portion of the space inside a
format.
Use:
Classical layouts such as novels and religious books such as
Ramayan and Mahabharat.
(2) COLUMN
GRID:- These grids are great when discontinuous data needs to be
exhibited.
Use:
Magazines
(3) MODULAR
GRID:- These grids are great for hard projects that call for more
control than a column grid can offer. Picture galleries and shopping
carts are likely possibility for modular (particular) grids.
Use:
Magazines and Newspapers
(4)
HIERARCHICAL GRID:- It is commonly found on the web. This is based
more on an intuitive placement of elements, which still conforms to
the needs of the information flow lines.
Use: Web
templates and modern layouts
Q.4. What is
the Fibonacci sequence & how it is useful for designers?
Ans. The
Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:
0, 1, 1,
2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89 & so on.........
Designers
used these sequence for making their design more accurate,
attractive, and beautiful. This is a concept that many designers
ignore all together, regardless of their knowledge of the sequence.
Q.5. Can you
explain the projects of few brands using Golden Ratio?
Ans. Golden
Ratio:- The Golden Ratio (symbol is the Greek letter "phi")
is a special number approx. equal to 1.618.
It appears
many times in geometry, nature, human anatomy, art, architecture, and
other areas.
BRANDS USING
GOLDEN RATIO ARE:-
(1) TWITTER:
Though the Twitter logo has gone through a ton of changes, many of
which included no bird at all, by my count, there have been five
major iterations of the actual Twitter bird formerly known as Larry
Bird and this bird has been designed through the Golden Spiral rule
which comes from the Fibonacci numbers.
(2) APPLE:
You can notice the numbers in side the Golden Ratio if you see it &
but not in Apple logo. I want to tell you that this logo is based on
Golden Ratio and of course these numbers are Fibonacci numbers.
MORE
EXAMPLES:
NISSAN,
TOYOTA, ATARI, PEPSI & so on......
Q.6. What
are the difference between Column & Modular Grids?
Ans. COLUMN
GRID:- Column grids are made up by setting multiple columns inside
the format. Column grids are great when discontinuous data needs to
be exhibited.
MODULAR
GRID:-Modular grids are similar to column grid with the expansion of
even divisions marked by rows. Modular grids are great for hard
projects that call for more control than a column grid can offer.
Q.7. What
is the Rule of Thirds & how it is helpful for designers &
photographers?
Ans. The
rule of thirds works by splitting an image into thirds, so you end up
with 9 equal sections, then simply place your main subject where the
lines intersect.
Any graphic
design software worth its salt(including Photoshop) can apply a rule
of thirds to your canvas & crop accordingly. It is helpful for
designers & photographer to make their projects
accurate, attractive & in a sequential manner.
