In magazine layout design, the grid system is an invisible and powerful presence. The so-called "grid system", English for Grid Systems, is a tool for graphic design. By arranging the page grid, the designer has a basis for the arrangement of graphics and text, which is both unified and varied.

We often lament that our own notes are messy, but other people's pages are clean and pleasing to the eye. In fact, after careful analysis, those good-looking notes are in line with the "grid system" rule. Take newspapers and magazines as an example, you must have noticed those column layout methods. So the secret to taking good notes is to have a good grid system first.
