grids

This is a good example of a design using grids. By aligning the pictures in columns the grids and margins become visible. This technique allows for a clean design. The pictures touch the same line making the margin visible even though there is still white space present. I really like this design because of it's simplicity.

Grid layout

This is an example of a grid lay out. It uses the rule of third; as you can see from the photo, Obama represents the 2/3rd of the picture, and the words wrapped in a box above Obama make up 1/3 of the photo. The areas are also divided into a specified number of rows and columns. Obama's face and the word Change above is lined up together vertically in the middle to define each other.
