Not left-justified but aligned to the design grid Explanation: I think 'design grid' is the key word here. Lines can't start just anywhere but have to meet the grid lines. There's probably a more elegant way to phrase this but that's the idea. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2003-12-11 14:28:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I\'m not sure this would convey the grid idea. According to how I understand the German instruction I\'m free to start a headline at any position as long as it\'s on a grip point, say every 36 pt. |

From an old typesetter Explanation: Fließtext = straight matter (continuous text would be understood in the trade, but is not the proper description) linksbündig = flush left, ragged right (nothing else will do, and don't say flushED left). Not sure about the question, perhaps "juxtaposed"? |

positioned (spaced) according to the layout grid Explanation: Often corporate identity design guidelines prescribe a specific layout grid based on a predefined dimension module. All elements on a page - both text and graphics - need to 'snap' to that grid. The grid dimensions do not always correspond to the typical spacing values of the used fonts; hence the remark, that the distance between the title lines needs to comply with the layout grid, rather than follow the font's own line spacing value. This, together with the prescribed use of certain typefaces and font point sizes, is aimed to create a uniform visual 'thickness' of the page contents: more 'packed', if the grid is tight, or more 'airy', if the lines are intentionally meant to be farther from each other. |
