So I'm a fake designer. I'm one of those assholes who has a degree in painting and works as a designer, therefore there's plenty I don't know about design.
My question is: How valuable is it to align all text to a baseline grid as opposed to the first line of a paragraph when working with a text-heavy document? I'm afraid that aligning all the text to a grid with enough room for line-spacing would push me over my page limit. Do I even need a baseline grid for something like a newsletter as long as things are laid out in an orderly way? My inclination is to say yes. Help me out or flame me, whichever you're better at. Thanks.
