From our Campfire chat room:

Ryan S.	i love how Ministry Of Type keeps gently evolving his design
	http://ministryoftype.co.uk/
	even the logo evolves in a steady path:

	(2007, 2009, 2011)
	i really like how the new layout is centered,
	but with white to the browser edges on the left and grey on the right
	he kept the grey margin on the right to give his images an edge to bleed off of

	very sophisticated
	it kinda feels left-aligned and bookish even though the layout is actually center aligned

In 2013 he’ll have just a black dot, huh?

Awesome layout. Love the idea.

Btw just to share, I evolve this idea and layout inspired by Ministry of type to make it a responsive layout design (iPhone and iPad).

Check out: http://syukran.com/blog and let me know what do you think?

P/s: Btw I’ve contacted Aegir Hallmundur and credit his layout for my blog.

Thanx for the share Ryan love your idea and designs.

I know there’s not supposed to be a “perfect” in design, but Ministry Of Type seems real close. Can’t pinpoint what it is. The proportions, typography, vertical rhythm, the print-style bleeds all get under my skin. Makes me itch. It’s simple, but never gets boring.
