Ordering Disorder: Grid Principles for Web Design
New book by Khoi Vinh, former design director of the New York Times:
“Ordering Disorder” is an overview of all of my thoughts on using the typographic grid in the practice of Web design. The first part of the book covers the theories behind grid design, the historical underpinnings of the grid, how they’re relevant (and occasionally irrelevant) to the work of Web designers — and a bit of my personal experience coming to grips with grids as a tool.
The second part of the book, which makes up its bulk, walks readers through the design of a full Web site from scratch, over the course of four projects. […] All of the projects are presented in step-by-step, in-depth detail. There are something like ninety illustrations, and they’re presented in a beautiful two-color design that, through the graciousness of New Riders, I was able to art direct myself, which is apparently rare.
Theories of grid design, eh? How big can a book be that basically says: “One-twelfth of the grid goes to the story, and eleven-twelfths of the grid goes to punch-the-monkey ads.”
