[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 381858"] At school, we are now into learning how to create a grid to help us construct well balanced ads and pages. It's funny how part intuition, part analysis come into play with text placement. You have to develop a sensitivity to typefaces, the weight of the grey they create as opposed to the [I]white[/I] of blank spaces, choosing the right type for what you want the ad to say. You can also choose the type for the space limitation you have, etc. What works and what doesn't? That's what we are trying to learn. At first, I would have dismissed it as [I]artsy fartsy stuff[/I] but I am more and more getting into this type of thing. I really like the thought process behind all this. The first screenshot is the grid I am using, the second is the first version of the ad, the third is the latest version of the ad. In the last version, I cheated a little and didn't completely respect the grid I created because I felt there was a lack of balance in the ad.
