Elliot Jay Stocks
Elliot Jay Stocks is a designer and musician, these days working almost exclusively with clients as a typographic consultant, and releasing music as Other Form on various European techno labels. His love affair with type started with the magazine 8 Faces, which he founded in 2010, and which led to him becoming Creative Director of Adobe Typekit (now known as Adobe Fonts). After Adobe, he co-founded the lifestyle magazine Lagom with his wife, which was published until the end of 2019. In the last five years, Elliot has held Creative Director roles at Colonna Coffee, ClearScore, and Maido, and is currently creating something new for Google Fonts.
Talk: Dealing with the fall‑out
Although Responsive Web Design has been widely adopted, there is still some resistance, and perhaps justifiably so. Elliot's blog post 'RWD: The War Has Not Yet Been Won' prompted some angry responses from those designers and developers who remain sceptical of RWD's place in our workflow, and perhaps 'war' was the wrong word to use. In 'RWD: Dealing with the fall-out', Elliot will examine the arguments for and against RWD, attempt (once again) to dispel the myths about RWD costing more time and money, and address the issue of how we — as a community — should perhaps try harder to get along.
