Also as one of the most important tools of graphic design, as early as 1629, King Louis XIV 14 ordered the creation of a Royal Special Committee for the management of printing, led by mathematician Nicolas Gazon (Nicolas jaugeon). The Commission has proposed a new font design proposal: Based on basic, using squares as the basis for design, each font box is divided into 64 basic square units, each square unit is divided into 36 small lattice, so that a printed layout is composed of 2,304 small lattice.

The other is a more familiar vertical grid, also known as the grid system (such as), because of the popularity of the 960.gs and other front-end frameworks, the Grid System is now more common, most designers understand the use of Vertical grid planning page structure.

When we look at the details, the left edge of each page element is aligned with the longitudinal guides, while the height of the element, the line height of the font, the gap between elements, and the spacing between the paragraphs are regulated by a horizontal grid, guaranteeing a height of 8 integer multiples, and a longitudinal centering, as well as:

It is worth reminding that the use of such a large-scale grid system, a page to do the eyes are not disabled and half blind, I am particularly thoughtful (so intimate is not so you want to work with me particularly?) ) to tell you that you can change the color of the grid in the global settings, the default cyan blue Basic deceptive, and then change the artboard background color to light gray:
