An Event Apart: Underpants Over My Trousers

Never heard of this presenter, but Andy Clarke's fantastic approach is a breath of fresh air from the day. Taking cues from the comic book world (hence the heroes with "underpants over their trousers). Points he focused on:
  • How panels direct flow
  • How variation in panels add and direct emphasis
  • What happens between the panels... is the reader's imagination
  • Panels sized by involvement time rather than a grid or length of content
  • Emphasis by escaping the panels (selectively)
  • Removing assumptions about where the reader has picked up the storyline
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.
