Die bereits preisgekrönte Buchreihe »Basics Design« wartet mit einem weiteren, nicht weniger entbehrlichem Grundlagenbuch Beleuchtet werden nun Designraster als grundlegende Entwurfskomponente, um angehenden Kreativen sowie etablierten Designern eine äußerst praxisbezogene Hilfestellung zu geben, ihre Layouts auf ein solides Fundament aufzubauen. Eine Reihe von Fallbeispielen erläutert dem Leser konkrete Einsatzbereiche und stellt diese den praktischen Hinweisen zur Erstellung von Designraster gegenüber. So wird also nicht nur die handwerkliche Umsetzung fokussiert, sondern vor allem auch sehr deutlich gemacht, warum diese intensive Vorarbeit überhaupt von Belang und notwendig ist. Wer die verschiedenen, grundsätzlichen Designprinzipien verinnerlicht hat, die diese Buchreihe präsentiert, wird sehr gut gerüstet in das künftige Berufsleben starten »Designraster« ist wohl eine der wesentlichsten!

A must have for all graphic design students. The book is very informative, full of graphic design rules of thumb, terminology, examples and real life case studies.
My favourite quote:
"Everyday life already involves living in a world full of grid systems. The grid of my flat. The grid of my space in my studio. The grid of the streets that I walk to get there. And the grid systems in my work. We need all of these grids. But the most important thing is to know when you need to break all of these rules with humour and play." - Gabor Palotai, Swedish Design Studio

Amazing book for those who want to start with editorial design! If I become a professor someday, I'd suggest my students to treat this book as their bible for design!
