Mastering Grids in UI Design

Day 11: Mastering Grids in UI Design

πŸ‘‹ Hello, LinkedIn Community!

I'm Prince Chouhan, a B.Tech CSE student with a passion for UI/UX design. Today, I'm diving into the essential role of grids in UI design.

πŸ—“οΈ Day 11 Topic: Grids in UI Design

Key Highlights:

1️⃣ Types of Grids:

  • Column Grid:

    • Vertical columns of equal or varying widths, common in mobile design.
  • Modular Grid:

    • Horizontal and vertical divisions for listing repeatable items, e.g., e-commerce sites.
  • Hierarchical Grid:

    • Sizes and placement create a visual hierarchy, emphasizing important elements.
  • Baseline Grid:

    • Aligns text and elements to a consistent baseline, ensuring harmony.

2️⃣ Key Properties:

  • Gutter:

    • Space between columns/rows, preventing clutter.
  • Margin:

    • Space outside the grid edges, guiding the user's eyes and enhancing readability.

3️⃣ Importance:

  • Visual Hierarchy: Creates clear structure.
  • Readability: Maintains consistent layout.
  • Harmonious Design: Ensures balance and visual appeal.

Practical Application:

I created a modular grid layout for a mock e-commerce website, emphasizing consistent spacing and alignment.

Future Learning Goals:

Next, I’ll explore responsive grids and their adaptation to different screen sizes.

πŸ“’ Community Engagement:
I'd love to hear from other UI/UX designers about their experiences with grid systems. Any tips or resources to share?

Thank you for reading! Stay tuned for more updates on my UI/UX design journey.
