Now that the visual stages of the research had come to an end the final stage of the researching process was to partake in an evaluation of a few examples of different editorial grids constructed from classic theories that could be adhered to throughout the designing stage. The look at these layout grids having the intention of informing the next composition stage of the design process.
Here are two examples of grids that are constructed in a way that means that if adhered to it creates well balanced and structured editorial design. The two examples of cannons shown are called the Van De Graaf Cannon and Villard Diagram.
The first of the cannons, the Van De Graaf creates editorial harmony by dividing the page in to two sections. The first of the sections outlining the area on the page of which should house the content with the second outlining the space around that shoud not hold content. The cannon creates visual harmony by ensuring that there is a strict ration betweent he original paper size and the content area.
Similarly to the Van De Graaf cannon the second example the Villiard Diagran also offers a designer a suggested content area. Contrastingly to the Van De Graaf cannon it offers multiple areas in which content can be housed including distinct hierachial points perfect for typographic hierarchy. This further visual harmony is created by further dividing the original cannon by ratio intervals to create further grid parameters. Both of these examples of layout cannons would help to add editorial harmony throughout the later design stages.
