Grids are invisible lines, or guides, used to organize design elements including 3M montages, the 3M Red logo, body copy, headlines, photos, pull quotes, etc. within a layout, providing consistent across all communicaitons. To maintain consistency across all communicaitons, regardless of size, orientation or format, follow the grids specific to each applicaition.
