    Grids Tool:

    A grid is a skeleton to create clarity and consistency on the page and improve design comprehension. It is to establish a set of guidelines for how elements should be positioned within a layout providing the rhythm for a design.

    The tool introduces you to design terminologies of the grid through a section called ‘parts of grids’. You can also learn about the types of grids that are widely used, understand how they affect a layout by choosing and changing elements like text, images etc. 

    This tool also introduces you to Indian grids. India has been using complex grids since centuries to build structures and patterns that are seen even in Indian households. The rangoli is one such example. Indians use grids effortlessly without even realizing, to draw complex patterns that are always pleasing to the eye. The Indian Grids section collates usage of grids in various fields like - Indian Architecture, Sculpture, Floorgraphics (Rangoli), Yantra (patterns) and Textiles.

    Have fun exploring the world of Grids!
