I saw this somewhere but can I find it again?

The article was a story about a graphic designer being taught about monitor sizes/resolutions. The story centred on the designer being give a 640x480 canvas and told to "go create a layout" which he does, next he's told to go create the same thing on an 800x600 canvas, the story goes on through all the popular resolutions and so on.

Basically the moral of the story that says design for web is not the same as for print.

If anyone has the link I'd be so grateful!

This one is an older article, but still a good one:

Thanks LIR, they might have to do. I need to explain these things to a graphic designer friend and the original story I was on about told it in such a way anyone could get the jist of it - it was very well written peice.

Only yesterday I was trying to explain how to design graphics for fluid width pages - he's nearly there but not quite!
