 1. Grid

    Grids are networks of guidelines that are typically horizontal and vertical. Depending on the designer, the lines are spaced out evenly, angled, irregular, or circular. Grids serve as a guide and help generate form, arrange images, and organize information. They can be used strictly or as a starting point. 

    Grids are most used in architecture, print designs, modern urbanism, and technology. Modern cities use grids for streets to promote circulation within neighborhoods and the flow of traffic. Modern buildings use uniform ribbons of metal and glass to wrap a building's volume in one go.
