SynopsisA grid system is a rigid framework that is supposed to help graphic designers in the meaningful, logical and consistent organization of information on a page. It is an established tool that is used by print and web designers to create well-structured, balanced designs. Rudimentary versions of grid systems existed since the medieval times, but a group of Swiss graphic designers, mostly inspired in ideas from typographical literature started building a more rigid and coherent system for page layout. The core of these ideas were first presented by M ller-Brockmann who helped to spread the knowledge about the grids thorough the world. This volume provides guidelines and rules for the function and use for grid systems from 8 to 32 grid fields which can be used for the most varied of projects, the three-dimensional grid being treated as well. Exact directions for using all of the grid systems possibe presented are given to the user, showing examples of working correctly on a conceptual level., From a professional for professionals, here is the definitive word on using grid systems in graphic design since 1981., A grid system is a rigid framework that is supposed to help graphic designers in the meaningful, logical and consistent organization of information on a page.

Though Muller-Brockman first presented hi interpretation of grid in 1961, this text is still useful today for anyone working in the latest computer-assisted design. With examples on how to work correctly at a conceptual level and exact instructions for using all of the systems (8 to 32 fields), this guidebook provides a crystal-clear framework for problem-solving. Dimension: 81/2 x 113/4 inches, English & German Text, 357 b&w examples and illustrations.
My version says 2016, however I don't think the content is anywhere close to 2016. Despite this, I still think the information is good. I am also enjoying The Elements of Typography by Robert Binghurst. They both seem relevant to me. I would say, get them both. I think Grid systems is easier to understand, however there are finer details in The elements of typography (that seem to elude me for some reason).
Good value on book. My wife wanted this so bad and it was affordable purchase for such an iconic work of theory.
It arrived brand new in sealed plastic-But there was a nick or ding in the cover. A bit sad because it was a gift but my wife didnt think less of me because of it 😀
