In today’s news round-up we have a small, yet cool, selection of useful tools, apps and resources for web designers. First up, we have a wonderfully useful jQuery plugin Quovolver) for displaying quotes in a stylish way, next up we have a small, yet very handy app for generating a grid (Gridulator) and finally a fun time-killing bookmarklet that can destroy everything on a web page.

Quovolver is a simple extension for jQuery that takes a group of quotes and displays them on your page in an elegant way.

Gridulator – Make pixel grids, lickety-split

Tell Gridulator your layout width and the number of columns you want, and it’ll spit back all the possible grids that have nice, round integers. Just the thing for pixel-based design folk. There are inline previews, courtesy of the canvas element, and when you’re all set Gridulator can crank out full-size PNGs for you, ready for use in your CSS, Photoshop docs, or what have you.

    Great Tools! I particularly liked the ‘Quovolver’ tool, which I believe would be useful for displaying a clients testimonial on their webpage. A visually appealing quote can encourage a potential customer to their site. Thanks for sharing.

    Yeah I love QuoVolver as well. Real easy to implement and looks excellent on the site. Just need to write a little wrapper to pull quotes from a database and then I’m sorted :)

    Thanks for sharing
