From design point of view, the issue I’ve had with 960.gs is that the structure they offer doesn’t give me enough margin. Even with the 16 I can work around it to some degree, but. . . and keep in mind this is from a print designer who’s made the move to doing more web work. . . it feels like a limitation.

Granted I haven’t worked with YUI CSS. Largely because the learning curve looked like the worst part of Everest, but I’ll check it out. Keeping in mind I still like sketching rough layout ideas on grid paper. . . .

I’ve found this to be a great asset for me from a design perspective. http://www.thegridsystem.org/

When I get stuck or just need to look at things from a different angle, I’ll pop in over there and see if I get inspired.
