Exercise: Grids

For this exercise, we were tasked with drawing appropriate grids for a 2-page magazine spread. I chose a spread about A/B testing applications. Below is a screenshot of my traces of grids for this spread:

2-Page spread with grids drawn

The left half of this spread uses a 6-column structure, where visual components at the bottom of the page (infographics) define where each column is aligned. In general, each column of body text on the left half encompasses 2 columns.

The right half of the spread is designed slightly differently — there exists a 2-column structure within the body text.
