in love with the 960 grid system

I have been working on some new sites and designing them with the 960 Grid System, and I am officially in love. It drastically reduces the effort required to layout a page, and also reduces the amount of maths that you have to do in your head. To completely eliminate the maths, I have created an image that shows the grid sizes for the 12 column grid. Click the image below for a 960px wide version.

960-12 

If, like me, you want to print this out and put it on the wall, I have created an A4 PDF that will have nicer fonts when scaled to print size. The boxes and pink lines are slightly blurry, so if you are a fancy graphics person please feel free to fix it and I will upload your better version here.

Download the PDF here.

Now I have to redesign Pinkjoint using 960.gs :)

    Thanks for your write-up. I also feel that laptop computers
    have become more and more popular lately, and now tend to be the only sort of computer utilized in a household.
    Simply because at the same time potentially they are becoming more and more inexpensive, their computing power is growing to the point where they’re as highly effective as pc’s through just a few
    years back.
