It's another #TuesdayTeamTips and today we're beginning a series on layout design. At Blueprint Media, we produce quite a number of different layouts, so today we are sharing two tips to help you in that endeavor.
The first is Create a mood board. Make an inspiration collage or mood board before getting started on your own design. Look for page layouts, color palettes, typographies and ideas on how information can be arranged. You can always return to your mood board to remind yourself of the effect you want to achieve.
The second is Match your design to your content. Consider the content and the audience you want to reach with your design. If you're designing for a magazine feature, read the article and see if any design concepts jump out at you. If you're designing a landing page for a brand, consider the brand identity and think of a design concept to match.

For this #TuesdayTeamTips we are talking about layout design. Did you know many designers choose to organize their design into a grid system? The most common grid layout is the column grid, which organizes a layout into equally sized columns. And today, we're sharing three reasons why grid system works.
1. It can create balance. Using a grid in layout design is one of the easiest ways to create balance in your image. Placing elements on the vertical and horizontal lines that divide your page into thirds gives your layout design a sense of balance without making everything symmetrical, which can become boring.
2. It helps make a layout cohesive. A grid can help a designer arrange the many disparate elements of an image in an easily digestible and cohesive way.
3. Creating an appealing layout. A grid gives you a layout template to make an image that is visually appealing to the viewer and guides them through the proper hierarchy of information.
Happy New Year! May all your dreams become reality this year. We hope you have a great one!
