Getting to know them Grids.

On September 11th 's lecture, Ms Lisa had gone further into detail about the Grid System. We were briefed on the functions, types, and the parts of the Grids.

The type of Grids that we were taught were,
Baseline - most commonly used
Golden Ratio- Used for website layouts.
Rule of Thirds, Columns - usually used for newspapers and magazines.

Then , Ms Lisa proceed to show us the parts of the grid such as the margin, gutter, module and more.

For the in class activity, we had pull out articles from magazines or newspapers. And we were instructed to mark out the grid we see on the articles.

Ms lisa had also taught us a little shortcut to get a decent grid on our papers. By folding the page horizontally twice, and then vertically twice as well. Once the page is opened, you'll have a decent Rule of Thirds Grid (4x4) :D

Later on, we had to design our own page with the "hierarchy" of articles, which includes Header, Sub-header and body copy. 

And this is the two articles, i've come up with :

and that was it for the day! Of course, we now have a new assignment! I'll blog about that next time!

BYEEE :)
