Challenge: Layout

- [Instructor] Now you've learned a bit about layout and page construction, here's your chapter challenge. Choose a newspaper or magazine that you like and carefully remove two or three spreads. Remember, that's a left page and a right page to view. Use a pencil and ruler to try and work out the construction of the pages. See if you can work out how many columns we used and the gutter between them. Try and work out if any kind of other grid was used on other pages. Also examine if different layouts schemes were used on the pages, or were they all using the exact same grid. This is an exercise that can be applied to other design spaces too, such as websites and so on. So start looking for grids at work in the world around you.
