Giddy farm bento grid

If you’re a designer and haven’t created a bento grid, you’re missing out.

They allow you to mix and match content blocks in a variety of ways.

...but without sacrificing visual harmony.

Aside from being fun to make, other benefits of designing with a bento grid include:

- improve visual hierarchy

- compactly organize data

- simplify complex information

- optimize the use of screen space

- less boring than lists and/or rows

- add interest to the flow of content

Apple & Microsoft have used bento grids in their presentations & products. It's likely that they popularized the trend.

The word “bento” originates from Japanese style lunch boxes (google it, you’ll see).

I created one (pictured above) in collaboration with our community captain, Joey. It highlights many of the innovative features of the new Giddy Farm we just launched in our app.
