One of the fundamental goals of any Graphic Design curriculum is to understand the enigmatic concept of the grid. So, the better we get at design, the more sensitive we become to spacing, weight, hierarchy, and the invisible structures that hold our design together. Without that sensitivity, all the grids in the world won’t make a great design.
I picked up “Grid Systems”. If it weren’t for the great examples with the beautiful vellum overlays. It explains the assignments that Kimberly Elam used in her class, and exhausts all the possibilities of a 3x3 grid. It is a great exercise but makes for some dry reading.

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I
had to ask!
