Grid design is surprisingly subtle. A grid that is too bold distracts and obscures, but one that is too light is illegible. A well-designed grid is legible when required, but does not create visual clutter or compete for attention with the information it supports. From the disciplines of art and graphic design, we know that there are many dimensions of subtlety and richness to such visual reference cues [Tufte 1998; Gombrich 2000]. Understanding both how these properties are achieved, and to what extent they can be generalized to elements beyond grids, is our broad research goal.
