STYLE 13

Lines

A design grid is an invisible series of lines

used as the framework of a layout (see

Step 9.6). This style uses grid-like lines as

the foundation of the design itself. They

are not only decorative; they form spaces

for each information element.

This bright, fresh-looking

photograph makes a great “non-logo”

logo. The life jacket is a symbol of water

and also promotes water safety. But the

reason it works well is because it’s an

unexpected solution.
