“Pillole di grafica”: l’importanza delle griglie.

April 21st, 2008

Le griglie sono uno strumento indispensabile per ogni designer. Timothy Samara ci spiega in sintesi quali sono i vantaggi nell’utilizzarle:

“The history of the grid has been part of an evolution in the way graphic designers think about designing, as well as a response to specific communication and production problems that needed to be solved. Among other things, a grid suited to helping solve communication problems of great complexity.

The benefits of working with a grid are simple: clarity, efficiency, economy and continuity. Before anything else, a grid introduces systematic order to a layout, distinguishing types of information and easing a user’s navigation through them. Using a grid permits a designer to lay out enormous amounts of information in substantially less time because many design considerations have already been addressed in building the grid’s structure. The grid also allows many individuals to collaborate on the same project or on a series of related projects over time without compromising established visual qualities form one instance to the next”.
