Is it possible to lay out a page without a grid? Why or why not?

I do think it is possible to lay out a page without a grid, but it might not be that perfect than using grid. Because the grid is not just the way we are using in art, it also matches the rules in mathematics, therefore we could make that page seems logical and also comfortable. Pages without grids will look loose but may also achieve unexpected results, however the risk of errors is high and most likely will not succeed.

When and how does using a grid simplify the task of a graphic designer?

By using a grid, graphic designers could easily arrange texts and pictures, especially for typography, grids help a lot of rashes the sizes, leading, and kerning of fonts

Let's talk about how the Bauhaus has influenced your design education. Designers used to learn on the job as apprentices, but when Bauhaus teachers fled Nazi Germany, their studio classroom methods and curriculum became the model for higher education in art and design around the world. Like most other design schools, the AAU School of Graphic Design curriculum and teaching methods can be traced back to the Bauhaus. We learn by making projects, and teachers help students with the projects almost the same way that masters help apprentices. Respond to the part1 and 2.

Part1: Like the Bauhaus, our design school curriculum usually has foundation classes in subjects such as color theory and drawing. Do you think learning these things is still useful for graphic designers? Why or why not?

Part2: Respond to peer's thought.
     
          Peer's Thought: I think that understanding color theory is essential to being a successful des

Let's talk about McLuhan's theory of extensions and amputations. Most of us would agree that the invention of movable type and printing has been responsible for much social and cultural progress. In McLuhan's model, the development of movable type can be seen as a key "extension" of human vision. However, McLuhan proposes that "extensions" are always accompanied by "amputations." In other words, progress in one area is always accompanied by a reversal of progress in some other area. An "amputation" can be thought of as a side effectwhich could be good or bad, or both.

1. Use McLuhan's theory and respond to both of the prompts below.(100words each)
      - Name one of the "amputations" that McLuhan claims the shift to a visual, literate culture produced. What lasting effects does this continue to have on us today?
      - How can graphic design play a role in re-tribalization?

2. Respond to other person's thought.(30words each)
