I need to address that because it's totally possible and probable that images and text are spread across multiple columns. I don't want people who are new to using it to think that the text or images have to fit into those skinny little columns. I hope the art book will be a nice portfolio piece for you, David!

It sounds like a fun project. I love print work. I agree, it's an incredible feeling to be able to hold the finish product in your hands--realizing you misspelled the title and it's too late to fix it because 15,000 copies have already been run is the not so wonderful part about print! :PWhat made you decide on a 5 column grid?

I've not done that before, and imagine it could lead to more work (if the publication is a large one).I'm currently working on a 200 page art book, and using a 5 column grid. Looking forward to holding the tangible product (one thing I love about print). That’s a curious approach mentioned there, John, working backwords, and placing the grid last.
