The Almighty Rabbit Hole
Talk video
Talk presentation
It’s difficult to get inspired sometimes. We often make the mistake of looking at our own industry for answers and ideas which leads to regurgitation and me-too-ness. For us to stay interested in our careers we need try new things and experiment. And the first step on our path to progress is inspiration.
I spend a lot of my walking life designing SVG animations and interactive design components with JavaScript and in my talk I chat about how and why they came about, the processes, the challenges, the failures and successes and the rabbit holes I dive down to try and discover new techniques and approaches to creating interesting (and often weird) things.
