Design practice

Grid test


For an A5 zine, a 5/6 column may work best.
the magazine is a monthly issue so there wil be quite a lot on content to contend with.
8 column may be a stretch so I'm going to stick with 6 columns for now.
The gutter is 6mm but the margins are 12.7mm. This allows for the content to fit on nicely without looking too cramped. I may increase the gutter as I go on.

Here is a quick layout test to see how the grid works. I know there's not alot on there but the high number of columns makes it flexible if I were to add additional content. I want counteract to be a concise magazine so if I were to have too much cotent per page it may confuse the reader.
