Ever wonder what is grid in web design? Today we‘ll find out what does it mean as well as speak about 4 Types of Grids. Let’s start from the small definition. In graphic design the grid system means a way of organizing content on a page. How to do it? Of course, using combination of margins, guides, rows and columns. A grid organizes content by holding up the elements. In a finished product, the grid is invisible, but following it helps in creating successful web layouts. You can easily understand how it works – just imagine a newspaper or magazine layout with columns of text and images. You can use one grid, or a collection of grids across an entire project to achieve a consistent look and feel.
There are a great deal of grids variations, nevertheless web designers should use some consistent grid systems that have stable principles of proportion and balance. So let’s find out what the main 4 Types of Grids are: • Manuscript Grid • Column Grid • Modular Grid • Hierarchical Grid As far as you have already known it will be the best to see once than to speak about it 100 times. So we present you a great collection that devoted to 4 Types of Grids examples. Browse it absolutely for free. We recommend you to try all these 4 Types of Grids and to find out which one will be the best for your project.

tutVector art is REALLY popular at the moment. Everyone is making vector art. It’s not hard to do and you don’t need to be able to draw to create it. Be warned though, vector art does take a lot of time and patience. Especially if you want to create OUTSTANDING art.
In this tutorial I hope to shed some light on how to make vector art and more importantly how to make really great vector art with Adobe Photoshop. We’ll be creating shape layers which are vectors.
In order to even start to think about doing this tutorial YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO USE THE PEN TOOL. If you don’t know how to use the pen tool just do THIS TUTORIAL first, (it’s not hard honestly).
Don’t merge or rasterize your shape layers. As long as all your layers are shape layers then you have a vector piece of art…That means you can scale the original psd up and down in Photoshop and it will remain perfect and unpixelated!! The final output will NOT BE a vector file (it will be a rasterized jpg etc), to output a vector file you need to use Adobe Illustrator.

I suggest you read through the entire tutorial before you begin…
Forming the Features
There’s no set order in which to create the various features. I like to work on specific area until it’s done and then move on. Having said that though, I always notice a little something to tweak once I’m working on another area…
I used a grand total of 316 layers to form this Bjork vector so obviously I can’t show you every step by step layer, but I did make an animated clip of the layers. It’s 16 hours worth of work condensed down to 1 minute…don’t blink or you’ll miss some layers. If the video below isn’t working try CLICKING HERE (or come back tomorrow).
What follows next is a breakdown of some specific areas with some tips thrown in. I’ll start with the eyes because I always like starting with the eyes. They are definitely one of THE most important areas.
THE EYES (well actually, eye in this case)
As you see, by comparing the original photo eye to my vector eye, I definitely didn’t create exactly what was in the original photo. It’s very important however to pay attention to the reflective quality of the eye. I’ve used several layers here to make it look semi-life-like and I work super zoomed in. Also you’ll notice I used a pretty vivid violet colour under the eye…this really just adds interest to the vector. Never use pure white for the eyeball. It will just look weird! If there is white anywhere on the eye it will be in the reflective highlight.
1. Put in the basic shapes of the eye. Note I used Layer Style Inner Glow on the iris layer. Make sure the pupil is round by using the eclipse tool.
2. Add in eyelashes (mine look a bit like cockroach legs ha ha). You can create multiple paths on a single path layer. I find a faster technique for shapes like this is to just create one and then duplicate it, altering it with transform and using the convert point tool.
3. Add in the highlights etc. You can see that the highlight has it’s opacity lowered so that the layers below show through. By adjusting the opacity of your layers, your vector will have a greater complexity…it will appear like there are more layers.
