Artforms of Nature by Ernst Haeckel (1904)

Wikipedia:

“Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (February 16, 1834 – August 9, 1919), also written von Haeckel, was an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and developed the controversial recapitulation theory (“ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”) claiming that an individual organism’s biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarizes its species’ evolutionary development, or phylogeny.“

The book was released to Public Domain. You can download all the plates in high resolution from the Wikimedia Commons Website. There you can also find the legends for the plates and more information.

Grids and Layout

Grids are the skeleton that a layout is built upon. This helps organisation, readability, to produce the piece easier and quicker, easier for collaboration, easier to balance the design, creates an easy to make multi-page layout with consistency, enhances visual hierarchy, creates a starting point for your design and can be used to break the rules for impact. There is a full anatomy to a grid: 

Format - the full area/space for all the elements. 

Margin - space between the content and the edge.

Flowlines - to line up the text correctly.

Modules - space between the vertical and horizontal gutters 

Spacial Zones - multiple modules 

Columns - vertical spacial zones 

Rows - horizontal spacial zones 

Gutters - spaces between the rows and columns. And making them equal creates visual balance 

There are also types of grid: 

Baseline - consistent typography size and leading. Mostly used for novels. 

Manuscript - a large rectangular area which is good for continuous elements of text. A narrow box means a focus on the eye. 

Column - useful for pull quotes and they could be regular or irregular for variations. 

Modular - vertical and horizontal divisions. Useful for small chunks of information and to create spacial zones. 

Hierarchical - Loose and organic grids which create more freedom and can unify different elements.

Pixel - useful for design on screen. 

This lecture was useful by showing me key types of grids and layouts which I can refer to in my practice now and in the future to create successful editorial layouts.
