Five simple steps to designing grid systems – Part 1. – July 4th, 2005 – The first part of this Five Simple Steps series is taking some of the points discussed in the preface and putting it to practice. Ratios are at the core of any well designed grid system. Sometimes those ratios are rational, such as 1:2 or 2:3, others are irrational such as the 1:1.414 (the proportion of A4). This first part is about how to combine those ratios to create simple, balanced grids which in turn will help you create harmonious compositions.

Starting with a blank canvas It’s always easier in these kinds of tutorials to put the example in context, in some kind of real world scenario. Subdividing ratios The grid system we are going to design is a simple symmetrical grid based on a continuous division of the paper size in the ratio 1:1414.

La grille de ligne de base représente l’interligne du corps de texte dans un document. Vous pouvez utiliser des multiples de ces valeurs d’interligne avec tous les éléments de la page pour garantir que le texte s’aligne toujours entre les colonnes d’une page sur l’autre. Par exemple, si l’interligne du texte dans votre document est de 12 points, vous pouvez définir l’interligne du texte de titre sur 18 points et ajouter une espace de 6 points avant les paragraphes qui suivent les titres.

L’utilisation d’une grille de ligne de base assure la cohérence de position des éléments de texte d’une page. Vous pouvez modifier l’interligne du paragraphe pour faire en sorte que ses lignes de base soient alignées sur la grille sous-jacente de la page. Cela est utile lorsque vous voulez aligner les lignes de base en plusieurs colonnes ou des blocs de texte adjacents. Pour afficher la ligne de grille de base, choisissez Affichage > Grilles et repères > Afficher la grille de ligne de base.
