Page Layout Task 2

Shania Carter

Grids• Grids are guidelines that journalists follow to help them

create a page layout. The grids can be simple or complex, the simple grid could include 2-3 columns and the complex grid containing lots more. Grids are also used to help set the text and photographs neatly into the page. This helps the journalists and the paper/magazine to have a clean and simple look. There are three lots of terminology for grid use:

• Grid – the overall structure of which you are working in.• Grid Units – the area in which the text and photographs are

placed.• Alleys – the areas of the grid which should remain empty.
