Love the dot paper! None of those “lines” getting in the way of my mental images.

I have used the classic 12 column grid for all my design tasks for nearly 15 years. 12 column grids came out of print, allowing one to set type full page, half page, quarter page, third page, sixth page, etc., extremely easy. More than that, keeping things on the grid puts elements in balance and harmony. The viewer may or may not notice actively, but the brain does. When things are out of balance, the brain balks at reading. The same goes for horizon lines of type. Putting half lines of space or arbitrary amounts between paragraphs creates columns of type whose lines of type do not line up. This may not be noticeable at all in one column designs (many websites) but go to multiple columns and use lines of type with dissimlar horizons and the brain tells you move to something easier to read.

I assume with wide web formats, a 16 column grid would work as well as a 12 column for print.

This is an interesting concept I am going to try on my next project. I have been using a standard story-board concept and fine-tuning the visuals in another step; this idea seems to be more fluid. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see someone else in the Cleveland area using the Dot Grid books. Hopefully we'll get to chat some at the next CWSA meetup.
