Grids are Good
“Grids Are Good” is a booklet conceived and created by designer Khoi Vinh and should pretty much be in the arsenal of any designer, regardless of whether or not they’re a web designer or a print designer. “Grids Are Good” illustrates how a simple grid system can be applied to website interface design and organization in order to add usability and presentation. I personally think it should be included as required reading in all design-based curriculum.
