Oh, starting with setting up a grid right away. Using the rectangle tool and arrow keys is a neat trick for quick layout generation.
Wow, turning that grid into a compound path is a really clever way to create interesting masks for images. I like how they're already adding a stroke to define those grid lines.
Going into the Object menu for Paths and then 'Make Compound Path' makes sense. This is where the magic happens to cut those holes in the shapes.

The video begins by demonstrating how to create a 3x3 grid using the rectangle tool and the up and right arrow keys [0:16]. This grid is then transformed into a compound path by navigating to Object > Paths > Make Compound Path [0:32]. This technique effectively cuts "holes" in the shapes, allowing an underlying image to be revealed within the defined grid areas [0:49]. The presenter then illustrates how to adjust the size of the placed image using the content grabber and keyboard shortcuts, highlighting the efficiency of holding Shift and Command (or Control) while using the arrow keys for larger adjustments [1:22, 1:38].
