  1. Mark Boulton — Designing grid systems

    Grid sys tems have been used in print design, archi tec ture and inte rior design for gen­er a tions. Now, on the web, the same rules of grid sys tem com po si tion and usage no longer apply. Content is viewed in many ways; from RSS feeds to email. Content is viewed on many devices; from mobile phones to lap tops. Users can manip u late the browser, they can remove con tent, resize the can vas, resize the type faces. A designer is no longer in con trol of this pre sen ta tion. So where do grid sys tems fit in to all that?

    Neven is a designer at Panic, but also has an interest in retro games. He has proven this last year with Pie Guy, a browser based PacMan clone that works flawlessly on iOS devices. Last week a game he build together with Matt Comi from Big Bucket Software was released and took the internet by a storm. The Incident became an instant classic.
