Long Live the 12-Column Grid

When I first crossed the great divide from print to web, one of the ear­li­est things I tried to do was intro­duce a flex­i­ble multi-column grid (you know, like a magazine).

Web Design with Grids

Peo­ple, includ­ing myself are build­ing sites using grids. Now it seems to me that when you’re design­ing in a browser you want to be able to fol­low the grid’s prin­ci­pals all the way through the process.

Fluid Grid

A web grid sys­tem that allows design­ers to use the screen real estate on large mon­i­tors and retain great design on smaller ones.

Griddy

About

Made popular by the International Typographic Style movement and pioneered by legends like Josef Müller-Brockmann and Wim Crouwel, the grid is the foundation of any solid design. The Grid System is an ever-growing resource where graphic designers can learn about grid systems, the golden ratio and baseline grids.

Created by Antonio Carusone, graphic designer and author of the design and typography blog AisleOne. Special thanks to Duane King for his help and wisdom.
