Grid Schmid












I found this website that talks about different kinds of grid layouts.  I had never heard of this one... its a multi-column grid with a horizontal anchor.  You set up your vertical grid then establish a horizontal section to be an area to put your pictures or captions... this is nice because it loosens up your layout so its not so predictable, and makes things more interesting, but still keeps it all in some type of order. 














The next grid I researched is the multi-column grid.  So this is a more familiar grid, it's just dividing the traditional manuscript grid layout into several different columns. There's many possible variations of this however. You can choose how many columns, the column depth, the column width, the width of the column gutter, and if you fill all columns with text or integrate pictures, captions or space into them.
