The Grid Builder

The Rule of 3

grid with rows in multys of 3

The Grid Builder works using 3 items per row. This means you will need to account for multiples of 3 in order to avoid errors. 

Options for these gird items are: Feature Text, Large Content, and Image with Overlay. (See video for the rundowns on each.)

You will have to occupy each row with 3 in any combination. It is also possible to have a grid item use up more than one space. This is very useful when executing a design that needs only 1 or 2 items on a row.  

To create a "blank" space on the grid:

  • Choose the Large Content grid item.
  • There needs to be some type of content, so we can insertany type  any text and paint it the color of the background
  • For example, Type "blank", then paint it white: Text Color > White
      text-color
  • This creates invisible text that occupies 1 block on the grid. If you need a grid space that is 2-columns wide, scroll down to Size and change it to take up 2 spaces.
    choose size
