1. This is the front page of today's issue of the New York Times. It is separated into six columns and what looks to be six rows based on the way headlines, photos and the information at the bottom was placed. The only exception to the rule is the bottom section which consists of five rows rather than six, which might also affect the amount of rows of the overal2.The grid aids the reader because it is simplistic and makes it easier for the reader to follow a story on the page. The headlines and lines separating each article also work together to guide the reader.
3. Whether it engages someone to read it or not is dependent on various different factors including the reader's interest level. There aren't many photos on the page and plenty of text. The set-up could turn away one person who looks at words on a page and thinks, "I don't want to read this," but could encourage someone else to read the articles because it's organized. Organization makes all the difference in the world when it comes to layouts.
4. Although the amount of columns is clear and articles are separated from one another with lines, there are some areas where it seems like two different articles become one. So in regards to how tight the layout is in order to fit the six articles, there is some tension.
