Typographic Design in the Digital Domain with Erik Spiekermann & Elliot Jay Stocks

[felone2]

What does he mean that designers had to make sure that sites work across platforms and that they have to look at code all the time? Where has that part gone? I want to get rid of that part too!

@felone2 He's referring to the use of layout grid systems such as 960.gs, which provide a consistent column-based layout that's proven across different browsers, meaning you can focus your efforts on other elements of the design.

I agree, his speech is really clear, honest and informative. Legend!

"It's not like I wake up with a layout coming on..." Really? I think he does. Every morning.

So nice to listen to Erik speak, he used to come and lecture us at art college in the 80's, learnt everything I know about typography from him!
