Tondreau, B (2011). Layout Essentials. Massachusetts: Rockport. 10-19/156.

Understanding the rules of how grids are implemented re-enforces our knowledge space. Using the defined rules for layout design creates a readability and flow to communicate with the viewer. 

Building a structure is a fundamental element in the successful application of design. Moreover understanding a client base we may work for as Tondreau explains helps to build a relationship with the reader and the space their eyes occupy." Grids are the most misunderstood and misused element in page layout. A grid is only useful if it is derived from the material it is intended to handle."
