[Download] Making and Breaking the Grid (Graphic Design) by Rockport Publishers ~ Book PDF Kindle ePub Free

The first section, Making the Grid, begins with an exposition of basic grid types, illustrating and defining the most common ones used in traditional design work. A selection of relevant projects shows how these grids organize information appropriate to each application and can provide a framework for composition.The second part of the book, Breaking the Grid, focuses on designs that challenge grid-based notions of organization. A brief discussion addressing the breaking down of structure is followed by a second set of relevant projects - this time, showing the grid reworked or discarded in favor of alternative compositional approaches.Working designers and students alike will find this book a valuable reference, as well as a source of inspiration for new approaches to laying out their projects.
