SXSW panels: Take two

In March I’ll be head­ing over to Aus­tin for the third time for the SXSW Inter­act­ive con­fer­ence. This time I’ll be on one panel: ‘Web Typo­graphy Sucks’ with the guy behind The Ele­ments of Typo­graphic Style Applied to the Web and fel­low Brit­packer, Richard Rut­ter of Clear­left. The second panel isn’t really a panel at all, but a ‘’Power Ses­sion’: “Grids Are Good, and How to Design with Them’ with my good friend, Khoi Vinh.

Got my work cut out

So, things are pretty busy at the moment; book to fin­ish, new work pil­ing up for the busi­ness (which is great—musn’t knock it), a couple of art­icles to write and now two pan­els at SXSW. I’m not going to give too much away with regards to the pan­els just yet, but I’m hop­ing they will be light and fairly enter­tain­ing yet inform­at­ive. I’m pretty sure both will be prac­tical and, if you attend (which I hope you will), you’ll come away hav­ing learnt some­thing that you can apply day-to-day. Not sure what time we’ll be on, but hope­fully it’ll be soon on in the con­fer­ence so I can kick back and get over the jet­lag slowly. 

Oh, and if you’re com­ing I’ll reit­er­ate what a lot of people are say­ing at the moment: book your hotel now!. Ser­i­ously, if you haven’t, you’ll be stay­ing out near the air­port. It’s get­ting pretty full already.

    Sounds like you’ve got you’re work cut out for you but always bet­ter to be that way and hav­ing to turn work down than the other.  I’m look­ing for­ward to Five Simple Steps though. 

    Speak­ing of Web Con­fer­ences though, when are there going to be a few more UK based ones.  With SXSW, the recent Refresh06 and the upcom­ing Web Dir­ec­tions North all being based across the water it would be good to see a few more tak­ing place on our shores?

    Ian: I totally agree. Let’s have some stuff based at home! Look­ing for­ward to Five Simple Steps too :)

    Def­in­itely look­ing for­ward to both of these pan­els. You and Khoi both know that the two of you are major inspir­a­tion and influ­ences on my work—so I wouldn’t miss them for the world. Keep up all the great work!

    Ian and Richard: What about @media and d.construct? 

    Jeff: Thanks mate!

  5. Ian said on: December 5th, 2006 at 5:30 pm

    Well true, and by the sound of it the clear:left guys & co put on a good event. Unfor­tu­nately I missed d.construct and had to settle for the pod­cast.  Hope­fully the pod­casts for SXSW and Web Dir­ec­tions North will be equally good. Good luck.

    Sadly, I won’t be mak­ing it to SXSW this year…but if pos­sible, can you make sure you record your pan­els this year…I would really like to see them.  It would mean a lot to me, because I enjoy read­ing your art­icles on how to apply graphic design prin­ciples to the web.  Thanks Dude! =)

    Mark: True, true. I should be get­ting my @media ticket for ‘07 soon. Just a shame to hear you’re on such a great lineup that I won’t be able to attend :-)
