Legacy

Casey's work acknowledges the influence of the grid established by the post-war graphic design masters in Switzerland. Grids are created with a layout device used by graphic designers and typographers to achieve a visual order and consistency on the printed page. Pre-printed grid sheets indicating column widths, picture sizes and margins provide a disciplined framework for the placing of diverse visual components. The grid is synonymous with the rational approach of swiss style graphic design after the Second World War. When using computerised design programs, grids may also be set up on a document's master page.
