New Approaches To Designing For The Web
Monday, 7th – 10:10
Design and development for the web has always been a place of experimentation. As technology changes, we discover new trends, new approaches and we develop new design patterns. But while the CSS for layout has changed, we haven't seen many new innovations in how we design past rectangular boxes.
