Making and Breaking the Grid, Second Edition, Updated and Expanded: A Graphic Design Layout Workshop

This is a large format, heavy, and well illustrated very comprehensive book — a must-read for all graphic designers.It's a resource I can always come back to when working on my design project.You will find inside a lot of great examples, case studies, best practices, do's and don'ts, and more!Overall, a must-have resource for design students and professionals alike.PS. I had the pleasure of interviewing Timothy on my podcast (On Branding Podcast), if you want to get a preview of what's inside the book—I invite you to check it out.

Honestly this book has been sitting on my shelf for about 4 months because I was working on a huge project. Finally found some down time to read it and oh my god.. yes it does have basic information but so much more. It really makes me understand why I do what I do and it helps me put it into words. I found this book extremely helpful and I plan to always keep it by my side while in the planning phase of projects. If only I picked it up sooner. I plan to see what other books this author has. Thank you!

I have been a graphic designer along with teaching it at the college level. This is a great book that every graphic designer as well as students working towards graphic design should buy.Great book with lots of examples and ideas to spark ideas and layouts.

A good reference book.

This is a beautiful book, reminds one of a coffee table book. Lots of information regarding design layout. Almost too much. Not necessarily a book for beginner designers but I’ll muddle my way through.

This book gets into the logic, methodologies for developing a grid for a project (especially books), and has lots and lots of well illustrated examples. I thought I knew grids, but this book opened a new dimension for me.

Excellent book on understanding and using grids. Know this content if you are a designer.

Beautiful large book. Print quality is great. Content looks good, starting to read it now.
