Today was quiet interesting, we had an introduction into to grids and layouts. This has given us insight into the editorial side of Visual Communication.
We were provided with a worksheet of a grid, but all the labels had been blanked out, we were asked to fill in the blanks as best we could, then we had a class discussion as to what the others were called. I feel this helped in the learning process as it enabled us to take it in rather than just hearing what each item was and moving on.
We were given a summary as to what certain words meant for example:
Grid: The structure a designer sets up and uses to give the continuity to a series of designs
Layout: The design formed when the designer lays out (arranges) text and/or image on the grid
After a short break we came back and began laying out a Grid of our own, which lead on for us to create our own layout.
