Respond 17 Scroll Excerpt: Rachel Nabors

If you went to one of our conferences in 2016, you will have seen Scroll. Some might think it unusual for a web / digital conference organiser to publish a print magazine. We think it fits. The thing is, we don’t see it as a binary option, either/or. This year, we’re publishing one Scroll magazine […]

Video Ristretto: Advanced CSS Image Techniques – Jessica Claire Edwards

This week’s Video Ristretto has the full title of Farewell Photoshop: Advanced CSS Image Techniques, which sums up presenter Jessica Claire Edwards’ contention at Respond 16 that it’s possible to do with CSS what could previously be achieved only with a sophisticated image editing program.

A Word About Workshops

You might have noticed a (significant) uptick in content from us in recent months – video, interviews, profiles, articles.

Plan Your Professional Development for 2017

Those of us who work in Web and the digital arena don’t have to be reminded that our fields are constantly updating.

Both in terms of our own professional […]

With the full program for Respond 17 now out, this week’s Video Ristretto reprises the talk given by Wayne Thompson at our Direction conference in November last year, as he is again on the schedule for Respond.

Bringing Respond and Code to Brisbane

This year we’re bringing not one, but two of our conferences, Respond and Code to Brisbane. We’re excited to be heading there, and hope the good folks north of the border are too!

Yesenia Perez–Design Decisions Through the Lens of Performance

This week’s feature video comes from our Respond conference last year (Respond 2016 is a couple of months off yet, with early bird pricing still available), a fantastic presentation from Yesenia Perez-Cruz (who since then has been turning up speaking all over the world!) on how the decisions designers (“just one more weight of this […]
