For the "beyond tellerrand – Play" conference Marc Thiele asked me again to create the opening titles for the event. We worked on this as a team of five enabling us to pull this off within a week. We played a lot with fluids, magnets, UV lights, paint and other mysterious liquids to create this unique look. All filmed with the Canon 5D MKII and the 100mm macro. Post-production done in Cinema 4D and After Effects. The mad scientists team consisted of Robert Hranitzky, Akira Endo, Daniel Hennies, Saad Khayar and Andi Toma.

It’s a brave new world of web typography, but designers still face the same tasks they always have on the Web. How to choose and set type beautifully for display, headlines, and at large sizes, as well as how to do the same for body text, at small sizes. Our paper has changed to pixels, and typefaces are changing with it. This talk navigates the world of web type, and explores the why as well as the how of setting type beautifully, on the Web, today.

What sets reusable JavaScript apart from other JavaScript? How can we make our code developer-friendly, fast, robust & compatible?
The API is make-or-break when it comes to reusable code. It's the API that lets other developers use your application, if it's difficult to use then they won't get the most out of what you've written.
We'll analyse existing APIs, looking at where they fail and where they succeed, looking at what patterns they use and how users react to them.
By looking at the wins and fails in the real world, we can discover what makes code a pleasure to use and reuse.

Usability testing and design are often separate processes -- but it doesn't have to be that way, and it doesn't need to be difficult or time-consuming, either.
Presented as a case study review, Dan explores examples from a real life project, explaining the method of testing and prototyping used, and showing the value of making adjustments to a design during testing, exposing changes in behavior that could not have been otherwise observed.

Craftsmanship and communication are at the heart of everything we do on the web. With our ability to understand and overcome challenges, we should deliver engaging experiences without compromising our integrity or failing the end user. Still, we're often naive and we make the same mistakes over and over. We get hung up on our tools and confuse our goals. It's time to think and talk smarter, get our priorities straight, and learn from our mistakes.

Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
