Grid Systems in Graphic Design
February 16, 2009 by Ryan Willms 
Grid Systems in Graphic Design was written by Josef Muller-Brockmann and published back in 2001. To any graphic designers out there this book is not going to be breaking news, but I did think it is pretty interesting that the book just popped up on Colette's online shop. I guess information can be pretty cool, as long as its well designed. The book has been known as the bible on working with grids for graphic designers and type setters. It's a great book, and one of the few I've actually read through on the topic. I was recommended the book by a really talented designer, Chris Allen, who I've since learned much more from, but the book also gave me a perspective on the art I really needed. While h(y)r collective still needs a lot of work in the long run, I can pretty much give credit to Mr. Muller-Brockmann for the magazine having any sort of structure. I need to read this again.
