Cedvel is an application for designing grid systems.
It is designed and developed by my dear former colleague Fahri Özkaramanlı. He is one of the most inspiring young designers in Istanbul who is specialized on screen ergonomics and typography.

Please free to contact him on regarding any question or permissions regarding both two projects.
