Andy Clarke is a well-known web designer, design consultant, and mentor. He’s been called plenty of things since he started working on the web. His ego likes terms such as “Ambassador for CSS,” “industry prophet,” and “inspiring,” but he’s most proud that Jeffrey Zeldman once called him a “triple-talented bastard.” With his wife Sue, Andy founded Stuff & Nonsense in 1998, where they’ve helped companies around the world to improve their designs by providing consulting and design expertise.
Inspired Design Decisions With Giovanni Pintori
In the tenth issue of Inspired Design Decisions, Andy Clarke will explain how Giovanni Pintori — the Italian graphic designer best-known for his work with Olivetti — can inspire design for the web with his distinctive use of colour and shape.
Andy will teach you how to use colour to attract attention and then to lead someone’s eye around a design. He’ll discuss:
- How to a minimal colour palette can act as a guide, helping people through a design.
- How lines and shapes add structure and style.
