I have said this with the previous videos and readings, but I do genuinely feel strongly about the grid now. It's easy to dismiss little details when designing something, but using the grid to create something entirely new that will be recognizable across all cultures and languages is an incredibly difficult task. By aligning things to a grid and keeping to a specific shape set the designers of these toxic waste and hazard symbols managed to create something that has not only been lasting, but also effective. I intend to use the grid method in more of my designs in the future because I find that that sort of structure actually enhances my creativity instead of limiting it.
