Stuff & Nonsense Practical Layout Workshop

We don’t publish a big ol’ bunch of links pushing products and whatnot around here. But I do like sharing a good resource when it’s available and that’s what I’m doing here with Andy Clarke’s upcoming Practical Layout Workshop.

First off, the deets:

• Date: Thursday, 18th September
• Time: 3:00 p.m. (UK)
• Duration: 2 hours (live, with demos and Q&A)
• Format: Online (join from anywhere), recording included
• Price: £69

You probably already know Andy pretty well. He’s been a leading voice in web design forever. He’s also written a slew of super CSS-Tricks articles recently (including this one today, with more on the way!) that are all about “getting creative” with common UI patterns while leveraging CSS to embrace a healthy dose of whimsy.

Here’s what he had to say to me about the workshop:

Over the past year, I’ve been exploring how classic layout principles from comics, posters, and magazines can bring energy and storytelling to digital design. This session is where I share what I’ve learned, with examples, demos, and practical takeaways you can actually use.

Just get a whiff of the stuff he’s been digging into:

And when you pair that with the Toon Title demos he’s been publishing, you get a really good idea of the clever ideas and solid techniques you’ll take away from this workshop.

Oh, and CSS-Tricks readers can get in at a £5 discount with coupon code FRIEND5 (that’s the number 5 at the end) at checkout. 😉
