"...There are, however, some designers and even clients who insist that the public deserve and will respond to much higher standards in graphics. They are convinced, as Charlie Chaplin was convinced, that the best way to entertain the public is to first entertain oneself."

The Grid System — the org

Posted: December 4th, 2008 | Author: Iancu | Filed under: design, grid, identity, stfu&learn, type, webdesign | No Comments »

Antonio Carusone from AisleOne decided to do the right thing and started www.thegridsystem.org, “the ultimate resource in grid systems”.

The website contains links, templates, books, articles, just about anything that has connections to the principles of grid designing. You Work For Them also supports this great initiative (in case you didn’t know, YWFT has some of the best design-but-not-only books for sale).

The website is grid-based, of course, and it’s a pleasure to look at (check out the up-right-side button):

The initiative also has a Flickr group, join up and share your grid creations.
