Analysis of the Design Methodology "Grid System" with Internationalism Characteristic

Zhisheng Xin

Abstract


The "Grid System" is a methodology used in typography that came into being under internationalism after world war
II. This methodology takes control of the image’s aspects with the grid lines that equally divides and distributes the space, which
resulted in the visual balance and a sense of coordination. As a design method, it represents how mathematical subjects interact
with art. And even after decades of evolution, it still acts as a crucial part of art & design and deeply influenced many designers and
their works. This paper starts with the history of the "Gird System" method while introducing its concept and following its major
developments and practices, then finishing up with an analysis of its main character and methodology for some future design.
