Book Description
From a professional for professionals, here is the definitive word on using grid systems in graphic design. Though Muller-Brockman first presented hi interpretation of grid in 1961, this text is still useful today for anyone working in the latest computer-assisted design. With examples on how to work correctly at a conceptual level and exact instructions for using all of the systems (8 to 32 fields), this guidebook provides a crystal-clear framework for problem-solving. Dimension: 81/2 x 113/4 inches, English & German Text, 357 b&w examples and illustrations.

I had read several places that this was a classic. That doesn't mean anything in my book, but I must say that it indeed has been a source of inspiration and useful in my work.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent detailed book. Absolutely satisfied.   February 23, 2008

In my opinion this is the best book about grids. It intoduces into history, gives some typographic base knowledge, detailed information about grids, layouts and composiotion. This book would be interesting for experienced graphic designers as well as for newbies. I highly recommend this book. Thanks.

you will not regret buying this book. a must have book for any designer of any discipline (web, print, media, etc). the downside is that there's a lot of reading to do. so hunker down and expect to fall asleep a few times during the readings, but it's definitely worth knowing how the system works from the master of the grid.

3 out of 5 stars That's what all the fuss is about?   March 6, 2007

Grids are pretty simple. It was an expensive book and when I buy a book I buy it so it can be a reference to me in the future. I was hoping Grid Systems in Graphic Design would have some mathematic principals or scientific rules for alignment. It showed a lot of examples, which I didn't find that helpful, and the designs were old looking and hard to relate to more advanced methods. Half of the book felt unnecessary and I wish i had paid less than half.
