OUGD404 - Study Task - Grid Systems

Danny's design principles session today focused on grid systems and how they are fundamental during design processes. We looked at places they are used such as newspaper and magazines and set out to find the grid used within a newspaper page in a group of two. Grid systems may be more simple than first thought. Some of the body's of text cover only half a column and others, including pictures, spread across two columns. This occurred frequently on my chosen page so it took a number of attempts in pencil before I was clear of the grid.
