Leading lines

Designers use leading lines — similar to grid lines — as a scaffold to build their compositions around. They work because our eyes are naturally drawn to follow the lines within a design, even when the lines themselves are invisible.^[1]

Unlike grids, leading lines provide more freedom in creating unconventional, outstanding layouts. It’s up to you to set the rules for arranging and grouping content along these lines, making them a very flexible tool in your design toolbox.
