I currently no nothing about grid systems. Through research I have found that there are two main types of layouts: vertical or landscape. Which one of these you work with will affect your grid. There are also only two types of grids. One that has an even number of columns and one that has an odd number of columns. Being able to choose the right design for what you are presenting is really important. In one article I found it gave some really good examples of how grids can affect text layout and the page dynamics as a whole.
It also looked at the rules of thirds where with photography the intersecting lines is where the centre image should be placed. This is really useful to know and means I may redo some of my photography.
The golden ration is equally interesting and useful for designing. I still don't understand this properly so will look into it and how it can be used in design with page layout.
