Introduction
Minimal reference for installing GridMe and using each stage—Foundation through Present—in Adobe Illustrator.
What is GridMe?
GridMe is a docked Illustrator panel for identity designers who need repeatable construction grids, vector anatomy overlays, clearspace documentation, and guideline-style presentation output. Generated content lives on locked layers—your source artwork stays intact.
How to read these docs
Start with Installation & setup, then use Features overview for the workflow that matches each stage of your project.
The four stages match the tabs inside GridMe—and the rest of this site:
- Foundation: Base grids (square, isometric, golden ratio, triangular, hex, dot, baseline) with Make Guides and artboard clipping.
- Construction: Anchors, handles, outlines, construction lines with clustering, and a 3‑point circle fit.
- Clearspace: Ghost-copy style zones, multi‑zone layouts, bleed and padding with sensible defaults.
- Present: Color matrices, minimum size sheets, and canvas modes suited to brand books and client decks.
