What do math teachers and city planners have in common aside from indispensable yet low-compensating jobs? A love for grids, of course! This is one of those special topics that seems really important because it is really important but still doesn't get enough attention. It's on par with balancing a checkbook and learning to properly mimic funny accents.
Thankfully grids can be useful to many career paths outside of mathematics and architecture. I want to focus on the benefits of grid structure when it comes to designing web typography. A typical layout often uses many small blocks of text which are crucial to a good user experience.

As a web designer your mission is to create hight-quality design. The problem is that you’re out of time.Nowadays, web designers spend most of their time on finding customers and less on honing their craft.

Looking onward into 2015 I expect to see lots of growth and ingenuity from older trends, along with some newer ideas finally coming into the spotlight.

Modern designers are working on hundreds of different projects each year and so many of them are dedicated to niche subjects. Zoos and aquariums serve a very similar purpose as an attraction to see a wide variety of nature.
Interestingly enough these two distinct facilities follow very distinct design styles. For this gallery I've put together 35 inspirational examples of zoos and aquariums.

I hope this gallery can offer a glimpse of the best each category has to offer - both for personal and commercial design work.
