GRA 217 - Introduction to the Graphic Arts - group B

This is one of two blogs for the Graphics 217.1 course, Introduction to the Graphic Arts, at Syracuse University.

Saturday, November 1, 2008

I chose a computerized grid map to show an example of a real-life grid. The use of measurements aids the reader to understand the scaling on the grid and each square is the same exact size. Grids like these are very helpful in architecture when plotting land and planning to build new structures. Exact measurements are necessary and even the least bit of unevenness can make an outlined plan not workable. I think that gridmaps of land are very easy to read and they can be applied to many other things in daily life. The equal size and scale of the squares make it readable and the symmetrical to the eye.
