Video: Karl Gerstner inspired web design

In this new video, I discuss the influential Swiss graphic designer Karl Gerstner’s work. I love Gerstner’s mastery of grid and how he used them to create consistent yet creative layouts.

Swiss artist and typographer Karl Gerstner was one of the first designers to exploit the creative flexibility of using grids, and it’s the compound grid Gerstner designed in 1962 for Capital magazine has become one of his best-known creations. He called it a “mobile grid”—although it’s not the type of mobile you and I are used to.
