Designed by Astrid Stavro, this set of gridded papers is based on a selection of famous designers' grid work. This particular piece is based on Paul Rand's grid from "A Designer's Art".

From the Micro Studio website:
Paul Rand thought that the grid did not automatically provide an exciting solution. He believed the designer should still exercise all the experience at his command: discretion, timing, sense of drama and sequence. He thought the grid could help the designer to achieve harmony and order, but also that it may be abandoned when and if necessary. He proved so in his own book, designing an assymetrical three column grid that allowed him to express his ideas and show his work in a unique and interesting way.
