Day 11: Mastering Grids in UI Design
π 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.
ποΈ Day 11 Topic: Grids in UI Design
Key Highlights:
1οΈβ£ 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.
2οΈβ£ Key Properties:
-
Gutter:
- Space between columns/rows, preventing clutter.
-
Margin:
- Space outside the grid edges, guiding the user's eyes and enhancing readability.
3οΈβ£ 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, Iβll explore responsive grids and their adaptation to different screen sizes.
π’ 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.
