Gridding

     Yesterday in STAC some of us had a workshop where we learned about grinding and the placement of text and pictures in a magazine or newspaper. At first using a grid to design a page can be difficult and a bit confusing but after a while and playing around with it you start to see what works and what doesn't. When Catherine first came in and told us what we were going to be doing I thought that it would  be easy and a waste of time, but when she started to explain it in better detail I realized that I would need help if I wanted to learn and learn how to use a grid correctly. This is a very useful skill that everyone should learn whether you go have a career in art/graphic design or not. You can use it not only when creating a magazine or website but when your making a worksheet/flyer or resume.
