From the mentioning of grids, we come to the
exploration of grid deconstruction in graphic design. By deconstructing a
grid, we are breaking down a structure to discover new spatial or
visual relationships. Breaking down or altering a structure can be done
through methods such as "cutting" and shifting apart major areas, either
horizontally or vertically. Overlapping grid modules or columns can
produce a perception of layers in the composition. In graphic design,
there is also "linguistic deconstruction" which involves treating the
composition's text in particular ways in order to give a "voice" to
visual language. To do so, certain phrases or words could be broken
apart to bring attention to certain sections. Text can also appear
"louder" or "faster" if they are made larger or bolder. Through methods
of linguistic deconstruction, associations and meanings can be created
from the treatment of the text to form meaning and a natural rhythm of
communication.
