We did an exercise where we had to pencil out all the lines we could see and see if there was a grid system in place.
This seemed like a simple exercise but proved quite hard because I wasn't sure what type of grid it would be, if it was a modular or column grid and if my lines I drew on it were right.
Also I wasn't sure if the lines I was drawing were correct or even there, but when you take the magazine out and look at just the lines you can can see a clear grid and layout system.
I carried this exercise on a bit more so I can start really understand layouts and practise seeing them in double page spreads.
After doing this exercise a few more times it has helped a lot to understand the layout systems in double page spreads and how magazines often use the same layout throughout a lot of their pages.
