Practical layout workshop for designers and creative teams

https://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/blog/practical-layout-workshop-for-designers-and-creative-teams

This workshop is for designers who want to break free from the gridlock and create layouts that feel bold, expressive, and uniquely theirs, without losing clarity or usability.

Design systems, frameworks, and templates are everywhere. And sometimes, even great ideas look like everything else. Over the past year, Andy has been exploring how classic layout principles from comics, posters, and magazines can bring energy and storytelling to digital design. This session is where he shares what he’s learned, with examples, demos, and practical takeaways you can actually use.

Date: Thursday, 25th September

Time: 3pm UK time

Duration: 2 hours live (with demos and Q&A)
