The 1000px grid

Elliot Jay Stocks, Bris­tol based web designer and illus­tra­tor, recently pro­posed on his blog a 1000 pixel grid as the base for lay­out pro­to­typ­ing in Pho­to­shop, instead of the more com­mon and defacto 960 pixel grid, we have all become so used to.

The rea­son? The math is so much eas­ier to do, when trans­form­ing the grid from pix­els to per­cent in respon­sive web design.

It is such a sim­ple and obvi­ous approach, I’m almost embar­rased, I haven’t thought of it before.
