Web grid background maker built in Processing
Inspired by Khoi Vinh’s Grid Computing and Design article and his fantastic presentation Grids are Good I built for myself a small Processing file that I’ve been using for about 3 months now. It generates a .png with a customizable grid that you can import into Photoshop or whatever tool you use for designing your sites.

The background maker lets you customize the width of the grid and the padding between the vertical columns.
The file is not a “finished product” at all. Let’s call it in alpha state. But if you’re a Processing user go ahead and grab it. I hope you find it useful and build a better one. (And then let me know so I can start using yours).
