Because in the past horizontal scrolling was awkward on the web, the simple answer was one really long column. But look at newspaper broadsheets: at certain points they break the column and start a new column to the right. I think over time we could well see a shift into a more fluent layout alike to a newspaper or magazine, on the web. Ultimately though newspapers remain portrait, and its efficient to have a good length before breaking to a new column. I think for this reason the vertical should always be dominant. | |
