Bizarre! In Edu Class CWJ was telling us about how a gym teacher TA friend of his was actually told that he needed to keep a group of 4th graders quiet while playing baseball in gym class because people were testing. Some people are just not thinkers...how on earth do you keep a bunch of 4th graders quiet? I also did a photoshoot with Brit and she was building molecule diagrams and it was funny because she doesn't seem like she'd be into chemistry but she is! Also, I love my new Canon digital SLR camera!

However, if not used correctly it can be the demise of your project. The grid helps you with the layout of your piece and makes it easier for you to create a well-balanced and cohesive artwork. As long as you follow design guidelines and do not stray too far away from works it should work out in your favor. However, if you try and cram stuff into small spaces or mess around too much with font size, kerning, spacing, etc. it may not work out so well for you.
It is important for us, as designers, to use principles such as the process of design, relative and absolute measurements, proportion, number sequences, the vocabulary of layout design, and zeitgeist when creating artwork. If we completely ignore these principles our work will not be as cohesive and successful as it could be if we payed attention to these certain things.
