I’ve been following your learning layout videos and they’re very good. For future videos have you considered the process of book design from importing a Word doc, retaining the formatting, styling it and fitting it to a predetermined page size and extent. I’ve designed many books and think this may help someone who is learning design. I can expand on this if you think it may be of interest.
By the way, in a letter page (51x66 Picas) you must add 12 pt to its page height to obtain a CUSTOM PAGE with perfect row division using 12pt as baseline, because you obtain 67, 12pt lines height each . You will have an odd number of gutters and an even number for your margins. In all cases, to obtain a perfect división with any baseline measure , you must add or substract some lines and/or fractions, to your page size or divide the extra (residual) space to add to your rows/baselines in order to compensate.
This is the best tutorial for working this out. So many others tutorials get this wrong. This is perfect.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have been trying to figure out what was wrong for so long, many unhelpful tutorials later, this one rocked my world!
this is fantastic, the most useful tutorial on this topic. ! like!!! thank you so much
I'm design student but I haven't learnt >>how to align the modular grid to the baseline
Thank you!! This is the only tutorial I've found that makes sense and works!
This is awesome, Gabe! I learned sho much from this. Will use it in the new book I’m working on.
Dude. Group the blocks then use the align dialogue menu set to align to page and use the centering options for perfect centering.
The most easy video about this 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks a lot for sharing, works perfectly!
FINALLY SOME EASY METHOD!!!!!! thank you!

You are welcome! Glad it was helpful!
is there a way to make the margins equal? top and bottom and still have the baseline grid and the grid together?

Thx. This is helpful 😁
A4 Page dimension (aprox.):
W= 49p7,026
H= 70p0,5
Margins:
Top: 2p8
Bottom: 3p3
Inside: 2p0
Outside: 2p0
8 Rows, each consisting of 6 (14pt) lines: 84pt
7 Gutters, 14pt each
Thanks heaps!!!
Bro, would you please do more videos like this? more grids and how to set it right on Indesign?
