I have used several already made masonry layouts such as: Masonry, Isotope and Salvattore, but ended developing a custom one to make it accurate to Fox requirements.Support on fixing post-production issues on both American Idol XIII and Fox.com web site.Use of several build tools: RequireJS (with Almond), Grunt for watching changes on source files and LiveReload.
