Why use a layout grid?

When designing, if elements are not neatly placed, the screen may appear cluttered. In such cases, try using a 'grid'.
A grid is an auxiliary tool that helps align and organize elements within the canvas, so once you activate the grid and place your elements, the design can feel much more balanced and orderly. Overall, it greatly aids in conveying a consistent impression.
