How do I feel about grids? To be honest there is always a place for structured design. I have learned to appreciate the purpose and design appearance grids have to offer the publication world. I enjoy clean design, and a grid is always the perfect choice to keep things organized.
But you can not deny how great it feels to break the grid. Breaking the grid keeps things interesting. It is like getting the little toy out of the cereal box in the morning! There is a line to be drawn, some people get a little out of control when they decide to break the grid. Even when you break the grid you should always have some sort of structure or reason for breaking the grid. Slapping objects and text anywhere on the page is NOT ALLOWED. You need to have a reason for placing things. "Everything should be doing a job, having a purpose."
