So our new assignment for the graphic design course is to redesign the grid system for a boring book. That wasn't actually what it said in the brief, but we basically had to choose a scientific book with lots of chapter subdivisions (3.4.5.1 eg), appendixes, tables, graphs, photos, footnotes and stuff. This is mine. Isn't it great? It's from 1968. The existing grid is very simple - just single columns of text on every page and centred objects. I've got a 5 by 10 grid so far, with a baseline grid that divides the 10 rows by 5.Monday, May 11, 2009
