Loving this video! Your animations make it easy to visualize the different elements of a grid. Thanks Jesse 👊🏻

[@chichi-bu9xu]

Wow, love this.. it's simple and clear, I'm not new to web designing but have always dreaded studying the GRID in depth, my goal is to translate designs into code properly. I'm looking for your next video now, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@rehanqureshiyt]

Knowledgeable as always! Thank you. Waiting for the Responsive Grid Explanation.

[@JesseShowalter]

Coming soon 👍🏼

[@vishnurnair6400]

Thank you so much for the awesome tips. You're awesome. ❤

[@danecustance2734]

Thanks, nicely explained.

[@sengkeavideos]

Great video for basic understanding of Grid. I always ignore this one when working on UI.

[@hongganglai3758]

Thanks! Great content!

[@jonaspedersen3634]

Great video! You say that you'll save the responsive grid system for another video. I'd love to see that video :)

[@stephanienoel2902]

Thanks again for another awesome video. I been out of the design loop for a while now and just relearning everything.

[@JesseShowalter]

So stoked for you!! Go get em!!

[@JesseShowalter]

You’ve got this!!

[@obedt]

Awesome Man. Thanks.

[@josh_ux]

I love all the videos you make Jesse! Did you drop off for a while while working for Adobe? I still tell all my budding designer friends about you. Thanks for doing a video about grids! No one really talks about them. Please make another video about breakpoints, if you haven't already, and popular grid frameworks like Bootstrap.

[@JesseShowalter]

Thank you so so much, Joshua! I really appreciate the support and encouragement. I’m so blessed by the community here! I’ll see what we can do, my friend! 🤘

Happy I found you Man!

[@codeandcurious]

Thanks jesse for the short information

[@krzysztofchoma9495]

Grid is something that I definitely underestimated when I started learning UI, now I know that. I should practice it more. And I think that breaking Grid is ok but only for people who know how to do that :)

[@JesseShowalter]

Practice makes perfect 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@chichi-bu9xu]

Completely agree.

[@vrm_ravi]

your way of talking is fabulous bro. great, keep it up

[@vsk.design]

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks for watching

[@muhsin_abdallah]

You just earned a subscriber 😊

[@johnnygarces2216]

always a treat to see your videos, Jesse! Would it be possible to see you build a grid in action (i.e. Figma/Sketch/XD?) Keep it rocking'

[@JesseShowalter]

That’s a cool idea, I’ll add it to the list

[@Coco-vi3sc]

I just realized how even your walls look like a well organized, stylish website lol! The lights are insane.

[@Sebastian-zs8cp]

hi, how setup my css under my adobe xd costem design grid?

[@marlpiece7175]

is there a standard for Marigns? or should it always be divisible by 2 3 so on?

[@aashanyoutube]

Can i use different grid for website? Like one type for landing page and different grid for dashboard

[@abdelazizpsy]

thanks

[@teerawutphonghan4432]

Thank you

[@JesseShowalter]

Your so welcome

[@dabs91]

So what's the usual margin size to use?., And when an design on website im not sure what size to use

[@hudsontaylor7779]

Great vid! When designing for desktop, do you keep everything inside of a 960 grid? Also what does the term “offset” mean? I’ve seen it on a couple of the UI design softwares. Thanks Jesse!

[@JesseShowalter]

no 960 is no longer the standard, I try to stay between 1100 and 1400 for desktop. Offset is exactly what is sound like, it offsets it from the center of the design

[@nazaradana1252]

never though i would be learning about grids from brendon urie, dude's is a tech nerd

[@abdulmagidelmaghbub9950]

niiiice intro

[@tomashruska2171]

nice video

[@ByInside]

Can one column have 1 additional pixel? I set up a dashboard 1440x1024 100px margin 24px gutters and the width of the columns are sometimes different (1px difference). Did I just ruin the design system that I’m working on? It just stretched this way.

[@liadecarvalho5270]

I don't know how to adjust the length of my columns. I'm using an e-learning free wordpress theme. My columns are too long and I can't just adjust them the way we do in Word. Please help.

[@CanadianChick811]

Do Graphic Design programs (I've been learning with Adobe and Affinity specifically) have premade grids that you can use? Math is hard.

[@JesseShowalter]

Yes a lo of programs have built in grids. Adobe XD, Figma and Sketch all have this capability

[@tonys490]

can do a video of process of trasforming UI xd/figma file to acual site please? do devs still start from scratch and use UI as guide or will they use the same files to code? thanks a lot

[@JesseShowalter]

Great suggestion, I’ll see what I can do!

[@GhostFront]

Bro i love your glasses. Can you tell me the model?

[@Rotem-er9wd]

How to know how many columns are needed? For example for desktop website. 12 columns will always fit?

[@JesseShowalter]

there's not hard and fast rules, do what works best for your layouts

[@tochidioka6019]

For a mobile app, I’m using 8 columns. Please can u advice me on the size of margin and gutter I should use?

[@vermagagan22]

Hi, for mobile best practice is to make it on 4 column

[@jaloliddinesonboyev]

perfect)

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks so much!

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks!

[@wendyblaschack4590]

How do I remove a grid screen overlay from my phone ? I think I did this using my treat scanner app.

[@wendyblaschack4590]

QR scanner grid overlay how do I remove from my screen

[@delta_7983]

I cannot imagine a Spanish person trying to explain the grid system... It will take one hours.. 😂That's why I love English speaks.. They are so directly and pragmatic.

[@marquezce14]

Where are your glasses from? =)

[@LUCA54]

oh jesses

[@zingnolan]

[@Olexandr____]

I can't trust advices from designer with that ugly glasses. Previusly I was watching your videos - but with this glasses - no chance.

[@JesseShowalter]

This is hilarious. Sorry they bug you so much 🤣

[@Olexandr____]

@@JesseShowalter Thanks for responsing =) . You have a lot of good content on the chanel. Thank you for your work. But once you started wearing those glasses - I can't concentrate on whatever you're explaining. I can't stop noticing those glasses. =) Is there any drop in metrics on your channel after you got them?

[@motombo2007]
