Week 10 Grid | Pruitt

Nylon Magazine's website follows a grid system. It sections off its information with three columns that are all equal distances apart and the information within the columns lines up to a grid as well. This helps the reader to not get overwhelmed with the information on the site. It separates the stories and features of the site from the advertisements and keeps the readers from being confused. I think that the simple and functional layout and grid system of the website does engage the reader and makes the website easy to use. The design is very balanced because it puts the main focus of the page in the largest column and puts the ads and other less important information in two smaller columns that together are the same size as the more important larger column. The varied column size does create some tension, but I feel like it is good tension and aids the web design as opposed to hurting it.
