    Good discussion fresnobob. Clearly different forms of art and design require different approaches. The medium you are showing above isn't one where I would necessarily expect a grid to be used, although it could be.

    I was thinking more in terms of web design - where obviously some parallels can be drawn to art and print work but also with industrial and product design. Just as it would be a silly to design a car while using no measurements, it's a little hard for me to think of why you would approach a website that way. We could pick out examples of offbeat sites that use a more painterly approach, but it seems to me that they tend to improvise around the grid rather than ignoring it entirely.
