## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn the Essentials...Avoid Gridlock
*by J***M on May 25, 2009*

Tondreau makes very few assumptions about readers' foreknowledge of grids and as such, jumps right into the fundamentals within the first 20 pages. Tondreau provides a vocabulary for grids that might seem obvious at first (i.e. columns, modules, margins, spatial zones, and flowlines), but also explains complex grid systems (i.e. hierarchical grids, modular, multicolumn) and methodologies for implementing them (i.e. typography, color, media forms, etc). What makes the book interesting and eliminates it from simply being a reference guide is the constant use of real world projects that illustrate the grid principle being addressed as well as a source of inspiration. In addition, the book makes a conscious effort to inform readers that there is a difference between `principles' and `rules' and designers should not 'lock' into a paradigm that stifles creativity.I strongly recommend that this book be read not only by designers, but by anyone person that builds interfaces that will be viewed by large audiences. It will only improve the quality of the final product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Guide Book NOT A History Book
*by A***E on May 29, 2017*

To be honest I was sticking between this book and "Making and Breaking the Grid" and I'm so glad I got this book. This book is NOT a history and it's NOT a book that's rule for rule. It doesn't say "If x is y then do z." This book is about covering the basics of grid design. Yes it does go through 100 principles that are basically tips on how to use a grid in different from ways but it also encourages the designer's creativity. It reminds me almost of a beginner's guide or reference book. Its filled with plenty of examples yet only gives very short descriptions. However, with this type of concept, it's better to show rather than tell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Handbook
*by J***R on March 2, 2013*

At first I wasn't sure what to make of it becasue it just looked like a list of principles. But the author has put si that one truely builds upon the other and I found my self referring between them, back a forth. Great for building concepts in the old noggin. And I loved the photographs and illustrations!
