Why we as designers use a grid

As designers grids help form an active element which contrasts and controls order with expression and intuition. It forms minimal and sophisticated typography that is aligned along columns and margins.. Grids are implied and not seen. They help determine and ordered and simple system for placing text.
Grids are a series of intersecting axes that create horizontal and vertical divisions of space on the page. The intervals set forth the placement of visual elements. As a designer you control and arrange the visual elements, to create movement across the grid and compose a symphony through the placement of your creation.  The grid is re-invented with every project. Grids are devoted to cohesion and harmony. They are molded after structure and systems of proportion.
They provide unlimited creative opportunities to a designer. A designer uses this flexibility to produce the most visually compelling work they can. It helps the designer create flow harmony and aesthetics in a project.
