ACAD instructor Paul Bazay's company has created a simple, but clever product - Gridbooks. The book they are currently showcasing is the AD Book, This notebook is designed for web designers and advertising art directors. It features a 15-point dot grid that divides into four, five or six columns. It also includes storyboard outlines for three standard ad units: a leaderboard, skyscraper and big box. Opposite the grid, a notes page includes lined paper and a checklist for action items.
