Gridline exercise

A very simple assignment: take a picture off the internet and set some gridlines on it in Illustrator. Find the "natural" grid in a real-life image. Gridlines are used for placing copy (text) and margins, creating the layout in a design piece.

I've been missing Seattle lately, and it's abundant inspirations of nature and culture. (On Tuesday a couple people had SIFF posters as research inspiration and the teacher said, "Wouldn't it be great if we all lived in Seattle? So much inspiration everywhere." You have no idea.)

Anyway, I think a title and subtitle could go in the upper left and some copy could go in the lower right (if the lights were blacked out more).
