In-Depth Information
Once you have understood and organized your information, consider the type of grid.
In this instance we need to create a grid that is relatively simple, as we are not deal-
ing with huge amounts of complex content. We know the order of our information
and have begun the process of creating a hierarchy. We are now looking for a grid to
help anchor our information and to provide a framework for our content. This grid
will eventually be turned into a template and used to present all subsequent briefs de-
livered to our students.
The illustrations here demonstrate two possible grids that we could use in this in-
stance. There are many more possibilities, but with the particular type of content we
are designing our focus is clear, direct communication, and a simple grid structure is
our best option to support this.
A single-column grid.
