Hierarchy on Grid

 

For this design I made long paragraphs of placeholder text to go beyond the flow lines

 of the 4x4 grid. The only modules present are the ones in the at the upper and lower parts

of the center. The text was flipped by 90 degrees to be directed downwards but the fill in the

negative space of two modules. In addition there are only three horizontal rows present and 2 columns are  being utilized.

By using the negative space by the unfilled modules to create a feeling of rising. The text remain and don't pass through the flowlines and are equally spaced from each other by the intervals. The bottom row has the most horizontal text boxes  However the top column on the far right has the vertical text stacked upon each other. From the first row to the fourth row in 4x4 grid, each row has more box stacked upon the other

in the columns.

This design utilizes half of the modules of each box. Increasing the vertical distance with in the boxes

that are in the vertical rows. All of them are spread out evenly by the intervals and half filled modules. Since the Modules are only half filled the text never touches the flowline. It makes text seem as if it's floating or continues to levitate upwards.

There is much more negative spaces present within the columns and rows. The 4 central modules

slightly larger intervals and spacing between the flowlines. Since the rows and columns aren't filled completely, this provides a much more distant feeling since 2 modules of the rows and columns aren't filled with place holder text. The center text sticks out first before the text on the four corners of the grid.

Above it may seem like a random design at first but it eerily resembles the rock hand sign. The text of the bottom left corner has an incomplete module which makes it seem smaller compared to the other modules with place holder text. It sticks out like the thumb in the rock hand sign. The two columns that are completely filled makes it feel as if those are the index and pinky finger going upwards.
