Andy Clarke is a well-known web designer, design consultant, and mentor. He’s been called plenty of things since he started working on the web. His ego likes terms such as “Ambassador for CSS,” “industry prophet,” and “inspiring,” but he’s most proud that Jeffrey Zeldman once called him a “triple-talented bastard.” With his wife Sue, Andy founded Stuff & Nonsense in 1998, where they’ve helped companies around the world to improve their designs by providing consulting and design expertise.
Inspired Design Decisions: Herb Lubalin (Expressive Typography)
In this eighth webinar of his Inspired Design Decisions series, Andy Clarke will explain how learning about American graphic designer and typographer Herb Lubalin has transformed his approach to typography on the web.
- How can we combine elements to develop powerful headers and calls to action?
- How do we use pre-formatted HTML text, and the text element in SVG for precise control over type?
- How can we optimise SVGs and make SVG text accessible?
In this online session, we’ll explore just that.
