Grid or layout is fundamental to everything we design.
Grids help align every visual elements, from typography to columns, boxes, icons, and illustrations. It provides structure and guidance for all creative decision-making. This helps creates consistent interfaces across the myriad screen sizes available today.
Grid Anatomy
A grid is composed of 3 primary components that include columns, gutters, and margins.
Columns
Columns are the imaginary vertical blocks and are used to align the content. We define column widths either in percentage (%) or fixed values.
Gutters
Gutters are the spaces between the columns. Gutters help to separate the content. We define gutter widths as fixed values.
Margins
Margins are the space between content and the edges of the screen.
Column structure
The number of columns used to compose a grid is called a column structure.
8, 12, 16, and 20 are a few of the most common column structures for a responsive layout. It depends upon your design requirement that which column structure you choose for your project.
The 12-column structure is the most agile and most common. It can further break down to align content in either 4–4–4 or 3–3–3–3 sized parent containers.
Layout
A good layout requires careful planning and use of composition, which relies on principles such as hierarchy, scale, proportion, contrast, harmony, rhythm, repetition, and many more.
Think in terms of columns first. Then go down the page and align as much content to the columns as possible. Subdivide columns when content becomes denser (4 columns is the most common construct).
Breakpoint
Layout Breakpoints help you start working with Adaptive design in mind.
Use this set of standard breakpoints to maintain layout integrity across screen sizes. For best results, test designs and code at each of these standard breakpoints.
