Layout principles

Clear layouts create clear communication. Use space, hierarchy, and alignment consistently to maintain a recognizable brand experience.

These grids are recommended starting points, not fixed rules. They provide a flexible structure for creating balanced layouts while allowing the composition to adapt to content, imagery, and format requirements.

Consistent margins, alignment, and sufficient white space are more important than strict adherence to a specific grid.
