Effective layout is essential to communication and enables the end user to not only be drawn in with an innovative design but to digest information easily. Making and Breaking the Grid is a comprehensive layout design workshop that assumes that to effectively break the rules of grid-based design one must first understand those rules and see them applied to real-world projects. Text reveals top designers' work in process and rationale. Projects with similar characteristics are linked through a simple notational system that encourages exploration and comparison of structure ideas. Also included are historical overviews that summarize the development of layout concepts, both grid-based and non-grid based, in modern design practice. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A treat for the eye and the mindWow. This is a visual treat. Your are introduced to "the grid" in graphic design and then simultaneously are shown lots of examples that violate the grid principle. The strength of this book is the examples, because you are given multiple pages for each design, which allows you to sense the designers' approach. It is a visual delight and breathtaking. You will find examples you love and hate and will be all the more inspired. A delight for the eye and mind! Rating: - Making and Breaking the Grid: A Graphic Design Layout WorkshopThis book excellent for graphic designers and anyone who needs to create professional appealing graphic layouts. As an interior designer, I purchased this book to help me design my portfolio and will continue to resource it for project presentation layouts. The visual breakdowns are inspirational; and the text, informative. Rating: - Great book for designersIt has a lot of examples and explanations of grid and grid-related layouts. A good reference guide for designers, whether they are students ore professionals. Rating: - essential structureYou may think this book is a little dry, but it is really essential to learn how to use and when you can violate the grid when creating layouts for print or web projects. A must have for any student in graphic design. Also try Kimberly Elam's "Grid Systems" book if you need additional resources. Rating:  - The big book of clarity and chaosWhat a strange publication. Divided into two sections the first explaining grid formatting with actual printed material and the second revealing how to design print without a grid. There seems a contradiction here because the grid, used intelligently, will allow a whole range of graphic options to be presented with clarity. Some of the print examples reproduced in the first section do show this with perhaps the most useful item a grid thumbnail for each piece, unfortunately I thought ... Read More
