According to Jan Tschichold, one should design with clarity or clarification. It also gives the ability for someone or the viewer to look at designs and fully comprehend the meaning or reasoning behind them through the designs being aesthetically pleasing and clear. The beauty of the design is also important, created to grab the attention of its viewers, but not overwhelming that one wouldn’t have a second look at it. Jan Tschichold believes that with clarification, then there will be successful designs.

According to Karl Gerstner, the use of the grid is and should be something to use each time when programming or designing. Through it is annoying to use the grid, it’s helpful and a wonderful solution for many problems or issues. I personally didn’t like using the grid, but have found it very helpful and useful when I had trouble with placements of images and texts when designing. The use of the typographic grid solves many problems and makes it easier to create templates and makes designing easier.

Josef Muller-Brockmann explains that the grid is an ordering system and that math is important when designing. The grid is used to clarify the placement of where everything will fit into place. The mathematical thinking comes in more with the sizings, making sure there’s correct measurements for placements, and the size proportion needed to creating the final product or finished designs.
