Find and Share (Grids)

  A pretty simple gridded layout. Something I need to approach more concerning my own layout.  I just simply have too much information so I just simply need to make the layout more... simple really. The layouts are really dense and a lot to take in so some readjustment will be essential. There are five columns used in this layout. Each set of small text is in its own column. Ghostly Essentials and Avant-Pop One align with the third and fourth columns respectively. Ghostly Essentials aligns its left side with the column and Avant-Pop One aligns its right side with the column

 This layout looks kinda some of mine. Super dense except right around the title. This layout is divided by four columns on each page and are all pretty easy to see.
This is a layout of a typeface. The grid is used a little more creatively and isn't always easy to see. It appears that it is a three column grid spread (so three columns on one half and three more on the other). The "X" in the bottom left corner is what indicated this layout for me. I can easily imagine three fitting right next to each other on the page.  Most of the rest of the text is all three column width except the "Ai",the text on top of it, the hand with the text arm, the "LE" it's pointing to, and the the row of numbers and symbols.

 This one is easy to see. The right triangles act as guides in a way. There are four columns in each of the four sections of this spread. All text boxes are two columns wide and sit on the right side of each section aligned with the center of each section. Two titles used are one column wide and align with the right side of their respective text boxes while the other two titles are centered in their sections.
 This layout might be the most intricate of these examples. It has two five column pages that each have lists of information. Horizontally, this list is aligned with each point in its own column (most are one wide but some extend into another column. Vertically, each of these points aligns with the five images on the far right. Each point aligns with the bottom or top of an image where achievable.
This one is pretty tough to see. I think there are seven columns used here but there isn't as much alignment present as there should be.  The text may not fit into a grid but it seems like it might. Maybe in a grid with more than seven columns even. Not too sure, any reader should let me know what they think. Maybe I just want there to be some grids in this poster...
