Poster Grids YOU MUST USE For Professional Results! | Poster Design Lesson

When designing a poster, starting with a blank canvas can often be bewildering, but if we start with a grid, it can help give us a framework to help layout our visual elements.
If you sometimes struggle with your design and want more ideas and inspiration, then this may be the video for you!
This video is going to be really important for those of you who want to improve on your layouts and learn about grids and how you can use them in your design.
In this video, I am going to discuss grids and the various grids you can consider using in the context of poster design, but these grids can be used in any layout design you wish to create.
So let's get into it!

[@CristinaDias7]

This was amazing: university level. Better than university, actually

[@mrs.quills7061]

Right? I went to school for this and am still learning doing stuff at work or just from these videos.

[@MikeSkrollento]

jajjaj better thaaaaan, for sure. In mine, never care about grid. Just modular grid. Never heard of the others in school, I had to learned by my myself.

[@bigpunchline]

Никто в моем университете не слышал про такое лол

[@GarethDavidStudio]

Although I did learn some valuable lessons at uni, I learnt most of the practical aspects of design after my university degree which I had to go out and discover myself. Pretty much the reason I do this, to make it easy 😀

[@aristoaks]

I desperately wanted someone to explain the grid systems uses in poster designs with lots of examples. I cannot thank you enough for this video. You have cleared lots of my doubts in this single video. I want to see more such tutorials from you and I will surely purchase the ebook on this. Lots of love from INDIA.

[@GarethDavidStudio]

Good to hear that! Took a lot of work to do this one! Glad to finally get it across the line and put there! Hope it helps!

[@GarethDavidStudio]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. If you liked this then you will for sure like my new poster series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4i2haKYoqqjgZIsi=ucnQJltaVoq0TvTR Here I go into even more depth about the poster design process. Check it out.

[@dccd673]

I wish I had seen videos like these before I made a poster for my dad for an event. Alignments are something I try my best to eyeball. Using grids would save me a lot of time. Next time I guess!

[@MrFeli100]

I have went to design school for 5 years! This was amazing high educational level and straight to the point! Thank you very much for the recap!

[@mrs.quills7061]

Never knew of this system and I went to school for this… what a clean and well thought out video with clear explanations. I’ll use this in my own work moving forward to help expand my design compositions! I knew about design hierarchy, fonts, color theory all that, but never this. Will be looking forward to more videos from you! Actually, now that I think about it the hierarchical grid is what I’d use to sketch out layout concepts, but I just did that because it made the most sense and didn’t know it was an actual thing just did it naturally. Going forward, I want to try the radial and axial grids. Those look super interesting and challenging!

[@azammohammed9567]

When I was doing my AAS in graphic design, I only got exposed to what a grid was but I never knew there were different types of grids😮...Now I'm pursuing my BA and I am very grateful for this in-depth knowledge I didn't learn in school. Thanks a lot!!!

[@rafbuelens4908]

I have been making stuff in photoshop for years as an amateur without knowing this, just putting texts & images wherever I felt they looked OK. This is an eye opener and I am definitely going to use this from now on.

[@tajudeenaminu4804]

I follow GDS not because of graphic design only also because of how GDS do his presentation, communication and patience. GDS exceptional

[@insomnia5201591]

So thankful for this video! ❣Explained so clearly!

[@zozaviski9283]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos to educate people ❤

[@obedndubisi1491]

So much value... given out for free. Thanks man!

[@AshrafKhan-jk7fo]

Absolutely none has covered these grids you are the first one who did it. It's very helpful for not only beginners but experts as well. You did a great job!

[@GarethDavidStudio]

Cheers!

[@mrs.quills7061]

Right this is the first time I’ve heard about it and I went to school for this and have been doing design for years lol.

[@dr.zahidpintuakond4869]

​@@mrs.quills7061 where you went to school? In Germany you will start learn Grid from start in first semester.

[@mhariszeeshan]

Thank you so much for this video. I really wanted to learn how grids work. I even downloaded books like Grid Systems, Making and Breaking the grid. But the problem was it's hard for me to learn through reading. Instead if someone explains things to me, I learn much faster. Thanks a lot again. You're one of best KZbinrs out there. I learned logo design from you. Thanks a lot for providing these golden videos for free! I really appreciate it ❤❤❤

[@tle90]

Thanks to this video I learned about radial grids, which helped me design a really great poster. THANK YOU!!
