For A Beautiful Web

I had never heard Andy talk, but I loved his book Transcending CSS. His talk was a little contradictory to what most of the “experts” say. I thought it was great. His talk was centered around the thought that we can gain inspiration for designing from comic books. Andy’s talk was definitely more inspirational.

Oh how I wish I could've recorded this presentation. Absolutely stellar. I can't express how inspiring this was. And his method was unparalleled: talk about comics, bring about the inspiring connection, show a web implementation, show the code. This is perfection. I've been inspired not only in design but also in presentation style. (via)

Underpants Over My Trousers - The highlight of the day for me [at An Event Apart]. An avid comic book fan, Clarke discussed how he found inspiration for designing a newspaper site by studying the ways that comics use the convention of differently sized, shaped, and arrange panels to build drama.

Andy Clarke gave an awesome session [at An Event Apart Chicago] showing how to use ideas from comic books on the web.

Andy Clarke on using comic books as inspiration for web page lay outs was amazing. Damn good stuff, my brain is on the verge of exploding.

I attended Andy Clarke's Transcending CSS Workshop in 2007. His content out approach to constructing mark-up and focus on pushing the boundaries of CSS through using the full spectrum of CSS features offered by modern browsers, changed the way I think about creating web pages and opened my eyes to new possibilities.

I really enjoyed my day at the Transcending CSS Workshop. Andy is an entertaining speaker and delivered the content - pitched perfectly for mid-level to experienced developers and interface designers, in a way that even the most seasoned of us left feeling that we'd learnt something new.

Andy Clarke's Microformats workshop at Future Of Web Design was informative, entertaining and accessible with added Flash Gordan for good measure.

Cole Henley

Andy Clarke is a presenter who will grab your attention with an on-topic anecdote, fascinate you with the facts, open questions never asked, suggest answers never spoken and at the end let you make the web more colorful place. In short, the industry prophet.

Not only does Andy have a thorough knowledge of his topic, he has a unique and entertaining means of conveying that knowledge to students. Over and over again, workshop participants tell us that Andy was the best speaker we offered and that he was both informative and inspirational.

I saw Andy at Future Of Web Design 2008 and he really brightened up the morning. What he said was very relevant and inspiring for me as an old hand and also for the two younger designers that came with me. Andy sparked off the day with a reference to Morcambe and Wise which floated my boat in a big way.

Damien Bidmead

Andy Clarke as the ambassador for CSS, with a cool mix of both design and developer in his blood. His knowledge of standards and the future of CSS are on a whole different playing field, yet he takes these subjects and talks about them with ease for others to digest and comprehend.

Kai Chan Vong

A workshop not to be missed. Andy's clear and to-the-point explanations were refreshing, his opinions and thoughts on CSS inspiring. I went away feeling exhilarated and eager to use the newly learnt techniques.

Prisca Schmarsow

At one with his audience Andy, draws you in with his enthusiasm, uttering the occasional expletive to make sure you’re still paying attention. Not one to be missed.

Ryan Taylor

Having had a first-row seat to one of Andy's brilliant workshops, I can say I'm hooked. Not only does he have a way of making mind-blowing, useful CSS tricks appear trivial, this lean bespectacled Brit is a dashing figure that could easily take a turn as the next Dr. Who. Brilliant and charismatic, how I envy him.

Kyle Weems

Andy is an engaging speaker with a deep knowledge of how we can use CSS and Web Standards to create visually stunning websites today and a beautiful web tomorrow. I left his talks feeling empowered to make the web a better place.
