I am interested in high level concepts like spacing, typography and layout more than the technical side of web design. I have read quite a bit on the 960 Grid System and it's use in say blueprint CSS, but I am looking for something a bit higher level. I was quite impressed by the design presentation I caught at a Melbourne RoR meeting quite some time ago and would like some more inspiration to improve my skills in this area. Just started in getting into some RoR development so any ideas observations on how others bridge design with rails development would be interesting as well. Looking forward to making the transition to Rails, from many years of Java development, in future :) Cheers, Mark Wolfe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
