My client in Phoenix said my grid layouts looked 'too perfect'
They told me the equal columns and perfect symmetry felt stiff and corporate, not creative. So I started using `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr));` with some items set to `span 2` at different breakpoints. It creates a more organic, magazine-like flow that they loved. What's your go-to trick for breaking up a rigid grid feel?

Faking a natural look" is exactly what clients need sometimes. A perfectly even grid can feel cold and ignore how people actually read. Those planned breaks in the pattern just make a layout feel more human.

Ugh, clients wanting "creative" usually means "make it look messy on purpose." Your fix is smart, using those random spans to fake a natural look. What's the weirdest client note you've ever gotten on a layout?
