Product Description

Product Description
The driving force behind almost all graphic design is the grid. This book concentrates on the principles, showing designs both with and without underlying grids. The authors take a look at the precision of the digital grid and the effect of CAD/CAM technologies.

3.0 out of 5 stars Coffee table rather than school desk, 5 Sep 2003
Interesting rather than indispensable - will kickstart an interest in grids and their uses but it's not the only book you'll ever need if you want to really get it together with teh idea of grids and their place in most if not all design work. A bit too desperate to appear groovy for it's own good but decent enough if you don't own any other "grid" books.

5.0 out of 5 stars gridtastic!, 30 Nov 2002
By A Customer
who says design books have to be dull? this book takes the most anal of design fetishes - grids - and makes them interesting, mainly by putting them in a broader cultural context and then asking those who actually use them what they're all about. buy one for all your design mad friends now
