Grid based design- Yes, it’s universal truth of design, which without we would all be spun into pixel entropy. And I like it as much as the next dev-signer, but we seem to have boxed ourselves in, well… a box. 960 pixels has become the De facto standard, and 1140 is nice too, but you know what is even nicer? 10. Instead of using the beautiful base-ten number system that has been ironed out through hundreds of years, we’ve decided to use columns and gutters of an arbitrary length, fitting just enough columns that all too often have to be broken during the actual design process (at least for me). My pages will continue to be a nice-and-neat 960, but my gutters and columns will now be the same. A nice and round 10 pixels wide.
