After that, having such a prominent visible baseline seems to throws the eye off the baseline of the type. Sorry to disagree. Anyway be good to hear your side of it. Lot's of nice stuff on the rest of the site though. Enjoyed reading it! I’m a bit miffed…

Sorry to disagree.

Anyway be good to hear your side of it.

This is perfect for web based designs. But for the most part, I create my own unique grids for each project since they all require different structures.

You talk a lot about using grid systems. Is there a website / disk full of grid systems that you can use to design for web / print? It would be good if you could load a grid template into photoshop and design on that - different templates for different uses. Are such things available? hi

This company doesn't organize the local bingo game, they specialize in high end events, mainly for hedge fund groups. These million dollar organizations don't care about how pretty are the decorations, they care about who you know and if you can get Jerry Seinfeld to host the party. As for their experience, it's all there on the site. I wish there was more photography but unfortunately there isn't. The company wanted a site that explained their objective and their services and that was well designed. The design isn't life changing but I think this site achieves that, especially if you compare it to other event group sites.

As a potential customer, I'd want to be inspired and excited by the creativity and experience of the owners. I don't get any of that here.

This is really inspiring. I love the way you use the subdivisions to place the logo. The 14 pixel leading to have every other line on the baseline is really good also. Thank you so much to have shared this. All the best Great!!!!! This is really inspiring.
