Type and grid-magaizine on In-design

I printed my design off in black and white first of all so I could spot any mistakes or alterations that needed to be made. The bottom was slightly cut off, cutting the page numbers in two and cutting off some of the image on the right.

This is the design incolour,although I've kept the main picture on the same page, I've taken away the background, added quotes and other elements and arranged it.

Taking an existing magazine layout that we think we can work with we were to measure out the margins and gutters and figure out the grid system. Using the elements of this layout we were to sdraw out a range of thumbnails with out our layout designs on.

Type and Grid


Point scale

Looking at grids and layouts wewereto try and figure out the grid of the newspaper that we brought in. Drawing out the margins, gutters and columns it allowed us to figure out what the grid layouts were. We were taught how to measure these using point size along with mm.


We were also shown how to measure time using point size and pica em. With the given text we had we were to work out the point size, measuring ascender to decender, and baseline to baseline and subtracting this, this would leave you with the leading size.
