Design Hack: Grid Systems

Grid systems are an amazing tool for any designer or marketer. 


Three design levels by Layout Grid on a poster: Level 1 (Simplicity/Focus), Level 2 (Balance), and Level 3 (Power/Playful) with corresponding grids and sample images for each level.

Grid systems can really help with creating effective design.


They provide structure, balance, and visual harmony to your design and marketing materials.


Here’s why you should use grids:


1/ Readability


Grids can help you organise content and make it easy for viewers to follow and digest information.


2/ Consistency


Using grids can make your designs appear more uniform in terms of spacing and alignment.


3/ Flexibility


Grids can be very helpful in helping you to adapt designs to different screen sizes. Especially important for responsive web design.


4/ Professional look


Well-structured design layouts shout you know what you are doing and are competent and demonstrate attention to detail.


Pro Tip: 3-Column Grid for Social Media


A simple graphic featuring three vertical teal rectangles arranged side by side against a white background.


Try a simple 3-column grid for your next social media graphic. 


Divide the 1080x1080 post into three equal vertical columns. 


Ideal for posts that need structured alignment of text and images. 


Each column can host an image or a piece of text, making it easy to create balanced designs.
