1200 Grid 12 Col anyone?
Started last project with 960 grid but changed to 1200 after request from the developer.
Was using 15 Col and since yesterday I've started to have some doubts so today I started changing the project to 12 Col.
I thought 15 col would give me more freedom and help me not ending up doing everything symmetrical but somehow I didn't felt it was working.
Any thoughts? What do you guys use?
- 12 is divisible by 2,3 and 4, that's why it's used...it's a print graphic heritage...go read Josef Müller-Brockmann Grid System and Massimo Vignelli Unigrid.uan
- you'll understand the system, then you can do whatever you like. but the foundation staysuan
- if you need some vid in the layout, you might start by incorporating 1920, 1280 or 720 into your horizontal measurements, so they can be displayed in native resuan
- hey uan, that's the reason i started with 12 col in the 960 Grid. I did once template for a Bootstrap project and actually enjoyed the 12 col option.oey
- and thanks!oey
- 1280 or 1440 to start with, but it depends on what devices you'll want to target primarily
find your resolutions: http://screensiz.es/…uan - also take a look at css grid in ff, might be helpful :) https://www.youtube.…uan
- another approach is to build up from a basic tile (unit), like 80x80 or 40x40 and build your grid with that measurement as baseuan
- I'm using 80x80 with 20 gutteroey
