During the early late 19th century, Europe was witness to a movement that began to separate graphic design and fine art, beginning with the use of grids, inspiring grid systems used today in advertising, print and web layouts. These early have developments have translated today in online graphic standards, used by all graphic designers and the graphic design industry in developing material in accordance with the acceptable generic baseline. Toronto is no different from any other city in the world, but it is in the sense distinct as it has become a leader in the development of such standards due to the demands and integrations of the many large corporations that call this city home.
