Applying a cookie-cutter approach to this – but using a CSS framework such as Blueprint or 960 (and the Drupal 960 theme) – means you're cutting out a vital process in the design of your site: the design of the grid system itself.</p> <p>This presentation will detail my grid design process. Throughout the presentation, I'll cover:</p> <ul> <li>The typographic grid: its history, usage and application on the web</li> <li>Different types of grid: modular, columnar, hierarchical, rational, irrational, </li> </ul><div class="field field-type-text field-field-session-day"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Day:&nbsp;</div> Day 2 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-bio-booklet"> <div class="field-label">Speaker bio:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Mark Boulton is a designer from the UK and runs the design studio behind the recent redesign of Drupal.org and Drupal 7 UX (working alongside UX designer, Leisa Reichelt).
