Typomřížky

Filip Blažek's Typomřížky is designed as an annotated and illustrated sampler of grids and layouts for print and digital media. The grids are arranged in chapters according to complexity: from the simplest ones, intended for fiction or poetry, to complex grids suitable for periodicals, art monographs or web portfolios. The individual grids are explained through easy-to-understand diagrams that represent the arrangement of texts, captions and illustrations. To provide context, the book is accompanied by a theoretical essay that summarizes the historical development of the use of grids in graphic design and highlights the advantages (and disadvantages) of different types of grids. The layout examples are based primarily on the author's own experience, but also on real projects by other designers, and reflect the current needs of students and more advanced designers of print and electronic publications or websites. The publication, which is a loose continuation of the highly successful and award-winning Typokbook (1st place in the Most Beautiful Czech Book of 2020 in the Textbooks and other didactic aids category), has been graphically edited and illustrated by the author.
