Join Monotype’s Nathan Ford at Port 80 for “Mastering the Dark Art of Fluid Layout”
Newport, Wales (PRWEB) May 12, 2014 -- Nathan Ford, creative director for Monotype’s Gridset™ responsive layout tool, will present at the Port 80 Web design conference. His talk, “Mastering the Dark Art of Fluid Layout,” aims to demystify fluid Web layouts and make designing for the Web a breeze. The presentation will take place on Friday, May 16, 2014, at 11:00 a.m., at the University of South Wales in Newport, Wales.
“Styling a fluid grid layout requires a good understanding of CSS,” said Ford. “With Gridset, there’s a universe of layout possibilities to explore – guided, of course, by the requirements of your content.”
Ford will show some of the ways traditional grids and other layout methods on the Web are hindering designs and go through ways to build with fluidity from the start. He will demonstrate how to derive bespoke grid systems from content to strengthen the connectedness of device, content and layout. Attendees will learn how to adapt the layout as needed to maintain smart compositional decisions across an ever-changing landscape.
