1. Discuss the grid system in place. How well do the designs work within the boundaries, or even by breaking boundaries of the grid? For the actual body copy, the designer utilized a two column grid system. All of the text fits within these boundaries, however the pictures obviously do not. 2. How does the grid in your example aid the reader or user? The grid system makes the body copy very easy to read, the white space in between the two columns of text as well as around the body text makes it visually appealing and clean. 3. Does it engage them with its structure or lack thereof? Yes, again because of the designer's use of white space in the design, the visual appearance of the text engages the reader. 4. Does it cause tension, either positive or negative? I believe that there is positive tension in this layout because the two columns of text adhere to identical boundaries.
