Found a great resource, by Alexander Dawson, describing the different layout types in webdesign and wanted to share. This article does a great job breaking out the various types of layout, be it elastic, fluid, ect. Many clients I initial talk with do not realize there are options beyond the design look and feel that can add to the over all look/feel of their website.
Pulled from the article, “One of the most variable aspects of web design is the way in which we approach width and height in terms of measurements and flexibility.

Just wrapped up a production project for Black Dog Design, whom was representing Brunton Outdoor Group. This project included a team of about 5 designers, and had an incredibly tight deadline. KGCre8tive was responsible for compiling all the content, images, and prices into one completed piece, the work book. This was a 58 page brochure, with 1/2 tabs for navigation throughout. Spiral bound, with four colors and full bleeds. Agency did an excellent job on design concept and photography, and the finished piece was released for print last week. We were happy to assist with the project.
