Presenting findings to the groups

Our group sam jnae lizzie and me got given this question - What are grids, columns , gutters & margins? (we all researched a word each)

Grids:- A grid is a 2 dimensional structure made of intersecting horizontal + vertical axes used to structure content. grids serves as a guideline which helps designers organise their content in a rational + aesthetically pleasing way. A grid enables a designer to align elements into columns and rows which creates a wide variety of layouts.

Columns:- Columns run vertically down the page and usually used to break up large bodies of text that can't fit in a single box of text on a page - vertical blocks of content on a page separated by gutters or rules columns improve composition readability. 

Gutters:- The inside margins or blank space between two facing pages in the gutter the gutter space is that extra space allowance used to accommodate the binding in books and magazines. The amount of gutter needed varies depending on the binding method.

Margins :- The edge or border of something , Margins can have a influence on the overall feel of a page of print.Different margins are chosen and created for the style of the content.This affects the aesthetics.


We put some layouts we had created on our laptop screens and walked around with pieces of paper and left people feedback to what they can improve and what we liked about there layouts.
Feedback for my layouts :-

• Classic simple layout works well putting boxes round text means you want to move from one to the other though.
• Consistant page layouts good flow , ratio of image to type is very aesthetically pleasing.
• Consistant page layout , perhaps think about less text on a page make it more visual , monochrome is more interesting.
• Perhaps you should look into the spacing at the bottom and the margins to allow for finger spacing.

I felt my feedback was really good i knew exactly what people said and i can developing and change my process of layouts to make them more aesthetically pleasing and easier to read.

When creating my layouts i left the boxes round the text this was just to show the layout i had decided to use.
