RHYTHM AND FLOW
10. Pacing Sets the Tone
Some grids include mechanical, clear, repeated, or marching columns of images or information to catalog as much material as possible. However, most grids also allow for lyrical movement from one block of information to the next, from spread to spread, or from screen to screen. The pacing of material on the page makes a difference in attracting or sustaining interest. Pacing can stem from variation in sizes and positions of images and typography as well as the amount of margin around each image.
