Typographic Grid
"A typographic grid is a two-dimensional structure made up of a series of intersecting vertical and horizontal axes used to structure content. The grid serves as an armature on which a designer can organize text and images in a rational, easy to absorb manner." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_(page_layout)
About The A Page
Headings , Sub headlines, Columns, Captions, Spine, Margin , Gutter, Pull Quotes , Dates , Type Of Font , Bold, Size , Alligment , Drop-Caps.
I have looked at magazines such as Advanced Photoshop , Grafik, Creative Review, The Observer and ImagineFX. I have copied out the Grid references from each of these magazines and newspapers, and they all have a different type of grid layout. I have used coloured pencils and markers to outline the different context of how the page is laid out.
In "The Observer" newspaper there are lots of different page layouts. There are lots of page gutters, Pull Quotes, Bold Type and picture gaps.
In "Grafik" as this is a slick graphics magazine the pages are laid out as fairly similar on each page. This also shows more images and less text on some of the pages.
