			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently wrote about a set of <a href="http://www.lattimore.id.au/2007/11/16/different-types-of-espresso-coffee/">visualisations</a> by Lokesh Dhakar that I thought were fantastic. While the visual representations of the coffee and baseball pitches were excellent, I really enjoyed the new design that Lokesh has put together. Without knowing any better, I would assume that he has taken inspiration for it from <a href="http://www.subtraction.com/">Subtraction</a>; but the way that it has been bent and morphed is a really interesting spin on the exceptional grid based design of Khoi Vinh.</p>
<p>In March this year, Khoi put together a fantastic document for a presentation about <a href="http://www.subtraction.com/archives/2007/0318_oh_yeeaahh.php">designing with grids</a>. The thing I like most about the document is that you can easily use it as a process for getting your site proportions correct. Tackling the visual design problem is something that a lot of people struggle with. In my particular case, I find it difficult as there are so many options available that I can never really decide on which combination of those options should be put together.</p>
<p>When I get around to putting my own design over top of this site, I think I&#8217;m going to re-read that document to see if I can develop a more cohesive and well balanced design out of it.</p>
