Modular Grid / Erin O'Quinn

I'm a big fan of using modular grids for websites, since they are perfect for scanning. Once such example is Viktoria Klein's website, where she incorporates all of her design elements into the modular grid. I also particularly enjoy the grid showing in the background of the website, which emphasizes it's rigid structure. Although all content can be found within the modules, Klein's website has a relaxed feel to it because things simply go in order, and she does not worry about not finishing a row by theme (such as her personal information,) or overflowing into the next line. Information just falls in hierarchical order. This could, however, be perceived as a violation of using the grid since hierarchy does not happen at levels, but I think it works well with her content, and her content flows nicely into one another.
