“ Convergence is a good thing. It shows a maturing of our understanding and creates a better user experience. The user is no longer required to relearn the interface of every website they visit. Paul Boag https://boagworld.com/design/design-convergence-not-dirty-word
“ ” While we focus our thoughts onto processes, methods and mechanics, instead of ideas, we’re losing the creative ‘soul’ of our work. Andy Clarke https://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/speak

“ ” All modern monitors support at least 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. 960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with. 960gs http://960.gs
“ ” A lot of grid design is experimentation with ratios, it’s experimentation with using white space and elements of content such as photographs and text. Mark Boulton http://markboulton.co.uk/journal/five-simple-steps-to-designing-grid-systems-part-2

Adopt a gorilla They’re found in just two isolated populations—in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, and the Virunga volcanoes—which span the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mountain gorillas remain in just two isolated populations in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, and the Virunga Massif. This is a range of volcanic mountains spanning the borders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The powerful mountain gorilla is one of four surviving gorilla subspecies. WWF co-founded the International Gorilla Conservation Programme (IGCP). Our work helps to safeguard Mountain Gorillas and their habitats.

“ ” A root rectangle is a rectangle in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the square root of an integer, such as √2, √3. Each successive root rectangle is produced by extending a root rectangle's longer sides to equal the length of that rectangle's diagonal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_rectangle

Combining grid methods In 2014, Elliot Jay Stocks declared that designers have stopped dreaming. That we’ve stopped being creative. In 2015, Noah Stokes chimed in, telling us web design is losing its soul, no less. RWD patterns have become habitual, we’ve become stuck in them, and we’re struggling to break out and be different. Web design is dead. In the ground. Finished. “Frameworks and templates have us covered”, Sergio said. Our patterns are mature, and “trying to get creative at this point will probably be pointless or even harmful.” He mentions The Grid as a pioneer in automation and artificial intelligence, essentially taking over the role of web designers. Take that in for a moment. The Grid – a piece of software – analyses your content and makes a website out of it. Boom. No designer needed, no fiddling around in SquareSpace, no agency fees. Websites at the push of a button. Judgement Day is upon us. The robots are coming. The very tools we’ve built to make our jobs easier are turning on us. And why wouldn’t they?
