Layout Development

Below are some of the outlines of the grid ideas, the aim is to use the four grids looked at in previous research; modular, column, hierarchical and the De Stijl grid. Within each of these the most appropriate principle will be incorporated to show the combination of the two factors. The type will be taken from my dissertation, the testers found that the entire of the dissertation fits almost exactly into this layout format when at A1 size. The type will be set as 'justify' so that the gird isn't broken by any larger white spaces.








Template grids for a modular grid, a column grid and a hierarchical grid, were initially needed, in doing this it was also necessary to choose a principle that would work within the same constraints. Proximity and the column grid was successful in conjunction with one another due to the structure of the grid allowing the boxes to be close together in a particular pattern.



A place holder body copy text was put in to see if the layout was successful.



The De Stijl grid had to be improvised in terms of how it was set out and how it was going to work on an A1 scale. It was simple enough to replicate on a different object so this made it much easier to work with.
