"The constructive grid is an indispensable foundation for 2d design. As an amateur, it allows the designer to order type and image with mathematical precision and implement clear and effective visual hierarchies." Bauhaus designers revered the grid because it was essentially modern. They believed it was like a pen that contained necessary information in accessible units, similar and perhaps influenced by the periodic table of elements. This poster's grid is checkerboard on which pieces are placed and for the most part, its purpose is decorative. Equal sized squares that form a repeating pater are soothing to the eye.
