Loving this video! Your animations make it easy to visualize the different elements of a grid. Thanks Jesse 👊🏻
Wow, love this.. it's simple and clear, I'm not new to web designing but have always dreaded studying the GRID in depth, my goal is to translate designs into code properly. I'm looking for your next video now, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Knowledgeable as always! Thank you. Waiting for the Responsive Grid Explanation.

Grid is something that I definitely underestimated when I started learning UI, now I know that. I should practice it more. And I think that breaking Grid is ok but only for people who know how to do that :)

Thank you so much for the awesome tips. You're awesome. ❤
I love all the videos you make Jesse! Did you drop off for a while while working for Adobe? I still tell all my budding designer friends about you. Thanks for doing a video about grids! No one really talks about them. Please make another video about breakpoints, if you haven't already, and popular grid frameworks like Bootstrap.

Great vid! When designing for desktop, do you keep everything inside of a 960 grid? Also what does the term “offset” mean? I’ve seen it on a couple of the UI design softwares. Thanks Jesse!
@JesseShowalter

no 960 is no longer the standard, I try to stay between 1100 and 1400 for desktop. Offset is exactly what is sound like, it offsets it from the center of the design
amazing
Thanks ❤
Thanks brother 😊

Can i use different grid for website? Like one type for landing page and different grid for dashboard
nice video
So what's the usual margin size to use?., And when an design on website im not sure what size to use
niiiice intro
Do Graphic Design programs (I've been learning with Adobe and Affinity specifically) have premade grids that you can use? Math is hard.
@JesseShowalter

Yes a lo of programs have built in grids. Adobe XD, Figma and Sketch all have this capability
Can one column have 1 additional pixel? I set up a dashboard 1440x1024 100px margin 24px gutters and the width of the columns are sometimes different (1px difference). Did I just ruin the design system that I’m working on? It just stretched this way.
How to know how many columns are needed? For example for desktop website. 12 columns will always fit?

hi, how setup my css under my adobe xd costem design grid?
I don't know how to adjust the length of my columns. I'm using an e-learning free wordpress theme. My columns are too long and I can't just adjust them the way we do in Word. Please help.
I cannot imagine a Spanish person trying to explain the grid system... It will take one hours.. 😂That's why I love English speaks.. They are so directly and pragmatic.
Where are your glasses from? =)
oh jesses
general intro nothing special incomplete tut
I can't trust advices from designer with that ugly glasses. Previusly I was watching your videos - but with this glasses - no chance.

@@JesseShowalter Thanks for responsing =) . You have a lot of good content on the chanel. Thank you for your work. But once you started wearing those glasses - I can't concentrate on whatever you're explaining. I can't stop noticing those glasses. =) Is there any drop in metrics on your channel after you got them?
gutter and columns size in px?
