The good news is that I've looked over Mark Boulton's five-page explanation of grid design, and you'll really, really like it. The bad news is I decided it's worth going through in class. You can get the same effect(s) by using software packages and templates, but I think it'll help you think through design problems before you even hit the power switch on your computer.

Two basic links. The introduction to Grid-Based Design 101 that we looked at in class Tuesday.
The second, which we started reading for today and will finish over the weekend, is Mark Boulton's five-part series on grid design.
