What are grid breakpoints?
Grid breakpoints are based on minimum width media queries, meaning they apply to that one breakpoint and all those above it (e.g., .col-sm-4 applies to small, medium, large, and extra large devices, but not the first xs breakpoint).
How do grids and layout assist with placement of content?
Grids Keep Your Content Organized
This is because grids encourage alignment, that's a big part of their job description actually. By establishing a grid system, you are creating a set structure for yourself to align elements against, and in doing this, you can create for yourself a neat, clean, and organized layout.
How do you break the grid in design?
Whitespace can be used to break out of the grid and draw attention to the focus element – at the same time. Adding a pop of accent colors and elements is perhaps the easiest way to break out of the grid once you've based your UI design around one.
Why you should use a grid for designing layouts?
Grids make it easier for designers to collaborate on designs by providing a plan for where to place elements. Grid systems help to decouple work on interface design because multiple designers can work on different parts of the layout, knowing that their work will be seamlessly integrated and consistent.
