For this session we were asked to bring in a double page spread in order to identify the grids within it. We did this by layering the page with tracing paper and drawing lines around all the elements within the page such as, columns of text/body copy, images, headers, even page numbers. The final product was a grid far more complex than I had initially thought, an eight column grid across an A3 page.
In the following session we were then asked to take our grids and outline/highlight the elements within the picture, the text, the images and the headers etc. In order to gauge where their placement on this confusing set of lines was. From here we then took the design elements and attempted to redesign the layouts on smaller thumb nailed grids (purely as an exercise to prepare us for thumb nailing our own page designs)
