Why We Use a Grid


Designers use a grid to organize and construct a composition. Grids make areas easier to navigate, work with, and understand, especially in the business world and everyday life.
A grid helps the designer seperate sections of a layout. It allows them to put emphasis on certain parts as well as demphasize things. Grids are useful when determining what you want the viewer to see first as well as how they look at the image as a whole.
By using a grid it eliminates confusion, as well as not allowing it to be scattered and cluttered.
