    I wish QBN would remove the clear button, it's so pointless and I just accidentally pressed it after a long post.

    Anyway, short response: I'm interested in your suggestions, I've glanced at "Grid Systems in Graphic Design" and "Making and Breaking The Grid" and they don't seem to cover the basics, just look at existing examples. This is nice if you've covered the basics already. I've also gone through a few guides that omitted the info you just gave me.

    • If "Grid Systems" is not giving you the info you need, you're not reading it right.Mulatu
    • Glanced at as in flipped though, I will go back. Also, knowing that you pretty much eyeball margins and gutters helps a lot.kalkal
    • helps a lot, it's not exactly stated anywhere in the book as I see it.kalkal
    • That's how I do it. I usually use some sort of simple fraction of the margin and let my type & content define the rest.monospaced
    • it's all part of designing the grid... netavive space should form part of your layout,Mulatu
