Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Counting down to Web Directions ’14: Today’s classic video

Web Directions 2014, our 10th anniversary edition, is less than a month away. With the best lineup ever, a brand new venue, along with some amazing partners– bringing you the World’s Best Conference Coffee (courtesy of Sample Coffee Company, our coffee of choice here at Web Directions), a fantastic free Juice bar, not to mention the chance to get up close and personal with a Tesla Model S–it’s an event you won’t want to miss. Truly. So if you’ve not signed up yet, why not do so now? Discounted tickets are available ’til Friday Oct. 10.

Meanwhile, to get you excited in the lead up, we’ll be highlighting some of our favourite (and some of the most popular), presentations from the last few years.

We’ll kick off with one of our most popular ever, from just last year, featuring Pasquale D’Silva on designing with animation.

As our user experiences become increasingly dynamic, we have a great deal to learn from those who’ve been bringing static images to life for a century or more, animators. Pasquale, himself an amazing animator, looks at the lessons we can learn from cartoons and animation, with some fantastic examples of what works (and what doesn’t). Rightly one of our most popular videos ever, enjoy “Stiff and Static Sucks–Designing with Animation” by Pasquale D’Silva.
