MORNING
Got a pretty interesting project coming in but alot f pressure on me the make the design look unique. So does anyone know of any good static websites that use a clean or unique grid system ?
just want to create something abit different cos even tho this is for a corporate client i think they still want it to be funky

So in order to make something unique you want to take influence from someone elses grid or unique design?
Surely that makes what you do - not unique!?

Why dont you just spend some time coming up with grids and doing some experiments yourself. Thats what I tend to do.

Alternatively look at print for inspiration then translate to web.

Not quite unique, but clean nonetheless. Whatever it is, here you are:

just make it incredibly small and complex, then you can do basically anything at all with it.
Or take two different ones and overlay them
- lol thanks for the professional advice. rip to sites off basically.liveforever

no, not two site designs; two grids.
in the most simplistic way possible, take a 4 column grid and overlay a 3 column grid in the same space, lining some areas of content up to the 4 and some to the 3
- that'll give you a nice contrast between elements being logically positioned and irregularkelpie
- never tried it tbh
but sounds pretty cool so might be the solutionliveforever
