Day 003 : Digital Layout Grids

Yesterday I briefly touched upon the virtues of using the golden ratio (phi) to sub-divide squares into perfectly recursive harmonious sub-sections. Today, I hope to illustrate better what I mean with the help of some grids that I have designed specifically for web based media. The basic grid can be used anywhere from print to animation, but is tailored specifically to match the needs of current websites.

Day 001 : Sketching ideas

So today I start the live redesign of this site :)

As promised, I am going to keep all my processes documented in this blog. The basic premise for the new site in my head is a strongly character based style with part animated, part static, all fun content! Starting out with a fresh sketch book and a head of ideas, I have already made some decisions way before starting anything about certain design restrictions that I am self imposing.

Firstly, I am designing for 960px screen width – that is 960 pixels maximum width – with a permanently visible section of 800px.
