According to Brockmann a grid system is an ordering system that expresses a certain mental attitude that a designers work should have a clear object, function and aesthetic quality in line with mathematical thinking. This is because the use of a grid system should imply systemised clarity, concentration on the essential parts of the design, objectivity instead of subjectivity, creative and technical processes, the integration of colour, form and materials and a positive attitude. Grid systems are important as the grid creates a constant set of dimensions within a space allowing for designers to work precisely, the rule is the few the differenced in size the quite the impression created by the design. The main reason for the use of a grid is so that simple and complex problems can be solved in a uniform style and by using a grid a designer can decided where to place their work with objectivity and functionality.
According to Brockmann a suitable grid in visual makes it easier to:
- construct an argument objectively
- construct text and illustrative material systematically
- organise text and illustrations in compact arrangement with its own rhythm
- put together visual material so its structured with a high degree of tension.
