Study Task 5 - Grid: Film Poster

Using the initial collages (below) as a starting point:

Grids 

Look for grids where they work quietly in the background (swiss grids), or it can assert itself as an active element 

Multi Column Grid 

• good for publications 
• more columns = more flexible 
• Can spread across multiple columns 
• Break the rules (look at swiss posters) 
• Columns help direct the reader as to how they read the text 
• Hang line - horizontal division of the page - text can 'hang' from a common line and 'stack' on top
• Hiarchy - how can you direct the reader as to whats the most important info - through; size, colour, boldness, italic etc.  Film title - subheading (a film by ) - minor heading ( a screen of) 
• Modular grid - fixed horizontal and vertical grids - 1950s + 60's modernist designers - Gerstner + Muller Brockman + Ruder
