Grids, Type n' Stuff




Grids





We used these three articles to attempt to work out the grid being used throughout this newspaper.


Type Size





We worked out that this bold title was 67.5/104pt

Lettering = 13.5pt x 5 = 67.5pt

Line feed = 13pt x 8 = 104pt

Leading = 13pt x 3 = 39pt




We worked this smaller heading to be 30/50pt

Lettering = 10pt x 3 = 30pt

Linefeed = 10pt x 5 = 50pt

Leading = 10pt x 2 = 20pt 


Article Text


We worked this text out to be 6/7pt

Lettering = 6pt x 1 = 6 pt

Linefeed = 7pt x 1 = 7pt

Leading = 1pt x 1 = 1pt
