Asymmetrical grids
Client: Sammlung / Deutsche Bank Design: Spin Layout synopsis: Rigid use of asymmetrical grid, added text spacing
Developing the grid
Man in the Middle This publication forms part of the Deutsche Bank art project. A rigid, asymmetrical baseline grid is used to order type and image placement so that title cap heights, captions and images all align. Text in the yellow spread is set with additional spacing, which creates subtle differences that break up the formal structure imposed by the grid.
The basis of the asymmetrical grid can be seen in the relationship between these two pages. Both the recto and verso pages are the same.
