I would like to give this book a 3.5, actually, not quite a 4. I think it's really good, packed full of information, and actually pretty interesting to read, as long as you do it a little bit at a time.

A must read for all graphic designers. The systematic grids and margins explained in this book are extremely tight. It definitely lays a solid foundation of the grid system, but it's too extreme, to the point that it's over doing it. I definitely don't recommend anyone to follow the grids, this book is simply a tool to get exposed to working with the grid. To do any creative designs, please get out of these grids!

Structure. You have to know structure before you break it.

I love modernism and what came out of it. You may as well go back to the originals for a subject like this. Get it without the subject being watered down with any idea that there is a choice. And in English and German on the same page.

It may look dry, but this book lets a designer see all the potential of grid systems, whether or not their final design uses one from the myriad of options presented.
