OUGD403 Brief 2 Study Task 02, Massimo Vignielli

Research: Massimo Vignielli 

A quote from Vignelli's book Canon “organization of information.”
this is what graphic design is and its important for it to flow well with
consistency and this is why we use grids to organise, the grid is the 
basic structurefor graphic design.

"The basic understanding is

that the smaller the module of the grid the least helpful it could be."

"Conversely a page with a coarse grid is a very restricting grid  offering too few alternatives. The secret is to find the proper kind  of grid for the job at hand."

I feel there isn't a great deal to say other then Vignelli is completely 

correct in his ways and many other designers follow his words. Here
are some of his grid systems/layouts

Vignelli's grids are
quite simple but all follow
the same rule, format and
principle 'organisation'
the grids are fluid and
consistent and could be
applied to almost anything.
