There’s a great article (as usual) over at Andy Rutledge’s blog. In bad layout conventions, he highlights some of the “bad” choices web designers make when, predominantly, moving their product from print to web.  Choices such as 3-column or broadsheet newspaper layout come under Andy’s eye and he breaks down the supposed pro’s and con’s.

I’ve always found the layout “discussion”, both internally and with clients, coming down to siding with the familiar. Hopefully as more people, such as Andy, talk about the need to shift focus from emulating the old and forging ahead with the new we will see the web shift more towards it’s potential.

Perfect time for us around Cleveland to start thinking about this and be part of the change.
