Regular bones are an indispensable framework foundation in graphic design, helping designers to adjust and arrange layout content. Regular bones are flat compositions with rigorous characteristics, and the layout based on them can make the picture appear symmetrical, repetitive and other different forms.
Bones include bone points and bone lines, which correspond to the frame of the entire layout. In graphic design, it is very important to build a good skeletal frame. Designers can arrange and combine elements according to different bone structures, which can not only effectively improve efficiency, but also make the presentation of information elements more orderly.
As an effective form of graphic design, the grid has a positive role in promoting the rapid and effective integration of information elements in the layout, making the expression of content more coordinated. The arrangement of the single-column symmetrical grid closely links the left and right parts of the continuous page, ensuring the smoothness of the line of sight. The single-column symmetrical grid throughout the rendering effect makes the layout appear simple and pure.
In the layout of a single-column symmetrical grid, there are usually mostly pure text-based pages, and more text often causes visual fatigue to readers and makes readers feel irritable. Therefore, sometimes the color and size of the text will be appropriately changed in the single column, giving the text a certain change. At the same time, in order to avoid the inconvenience of reading caused by too much text per line, in general, each line of text in a single column will not exceed 60.
The two-column symmetrical grid is also a common arrangement method in layout design, the establishment of the double-column symmetrical grid, it is necessary to plan the layout proportions in the layout, keep the arrangement structure of the left and right pages exactly the same form, and then let the information content have the same inner and outer margins in the layout, so as to ensure the visual balance of the left and right layouts, so that people can be more clear and fluent when reading.
The symmetrical grid in the form of two columns can summarize the text layout with more information, so it is mostly applied to the magazine pages based on introduction and explanation, which is not only conducive to the organization of the layout, but also makes the page more active than the single-column grid, with an appropriate interval rhythm. The double-column symmetrical grid maintains the balance of the layout, avoids the visual confusion caused by too much text, and effectively guides people's attention. Appropriate font size and color changes can effectively enliven the content of the layout, while making the page appear richer and fuller.
A multi-column symmetrical grid is a broader type of mesh arrangement that contains 3 columns and more columns of 3 columns or more. The use of multi-column symmetrical grid layout, with strong flexibility, the specific number of columns will be determined according to the actual layout, not only can make the layout composition appear more regular and orderly, but also can present a rich and diverse column effect.
Unlike symmetrical column grids, symmetrical cells refer to the symmetry of the basic cells on the left and right pages. Divide the layout into a certain number of cells of exactly equal size, and then arrange the pictures and text according to the needs of the layout on the basis of this frame. Such a composition is conducive to the presentation of the regular sense of the page, and effectively maintains the neatness of the unified and coordinated layout.
Applying the basic framework of symmetrical cells to graphic design can ensure that the picture is neat and closely linked between the front and back pages. Moreover, there is no fixed limit on the size and spacing of symmetrical cells, and it can be freely adjusted according to the needs of the layout to effectively reflect the flexibility of the publication design. For example, the symmetrical arrangement of the vertex can make the layout structure appear more active, and at the same time give the page a distinct sense of layering and order.
The baseline skeleton provides a baseline for the arrangement of elements in graphic design, helping designers to quickly and perfectly arrange information. When you set up a baseline bone, there is a close relationship between its size, width, and font size. The spacing of the baseline bones increases or decreases depending on the font size, meeting different font needs to determine the line spacing that matches the font.
The cross-alignment of the baseline skeleton aligns the fonts of different paragraph levels on the same benchmark, so that the fonts of each part are interrelated with each other, giving the layout a sense of regularity and neat unity. The use of baseline bones not only makes the layout have a clear and regular sense of tightness, but also effectively links the content of each part and maintains the integrity of the layout.
In graphic design, the baseline bone directly marked on the layout is called the exposed baseline bone, and its biggest role is to emphasize the text information, so that it appears more prominently on the layout, which is conducive to improving the readability of the content and enhancing the attractiveness of the layout. And the use of exposed baseline bones to set off the main text content, but also through the horizontal straight line style to guide the reader to read.
The use of exposed baseline bones to strengthen the content of the text, can make the text information more prominent, eye-catching presentation in the page, while standardizing the layout information, making it appear uniform and neat, its good auxiliary role allows readers to understand the theme content of the layout under relatively clear and smooth conditions.
Repeating bone is the most common of all kinds of regular bones, it divides the layout into multiple repetitive, the same space, and then places various information elements in these layout spaces, the elements in the repeating bone can be the same, or it can be different Focus on maintaining the consistency of the bone frame.
The spatial area of each unit of the repeating bone should be exactly the same, which is the basic guarantee that the repetitive bone is formed. The use of repetitive bones for layout elements can give the layout regularity and neat unity, so that the content in each bone space remains closely linked, while showing distinct visual features and deepening people's impression of the layout.
In the arrangement process of graphic design, the use of repetitive bones makes the layout produce a regular and unified visual process, and by repeating the changing constituent elements in the bones, it can give the layout a distinct visual impact, enhance the overall expressiveness of the work, and bring people a distinct and eye-catching picture feeling.
