Elliot sits down with Dan Cederholm, who many will know for his pioneering web design work, his multiple books, and as the co-founder of Dribbble. These days, Dan's studio Simplebits is a type foundry, so Elliot and Dan talk learning new skills, career reinvention, the woes of social media, and moving from digital to analogue and back again — all with a healthy (or is that unhealthy?) dose of reminiscing about the good ol' days of the web.

Elliot sits down with Jessica to discuss juggling family life with deadlines, why books take so long to get published, the kind of logo redesign work she's been enjoying, through to all the preparation she's been doing to open her bricks-and-mortar store in Oakland.

This week, Creative Type Director Phil Garnham sits down with Elliot Jay Stocks, designer, musician, and lover of all things typographic. From his time with Adobe Typekit to his current project building out Google Fonts' Knowledge center, Elliot has explored the vast universe of typography and helped people understand what they need, how to use it, and why there's so much to love about type.

Packaging Design Storytime: From Dieline to Production Line Settle down children, and pull up a comfy seat - it's story time. Join Olivia and Micah in the reading corner for this week's nerd alert where Olivia is talking all about the world of packaging design. She shares her early experience of doing bespoke event packaging, and then moving into more commercial packaging where she learnt all of the intricacies, politics, and legalities of big-brand packaging design. As usual, there's also practical tips if you are doing packaging design, or would like to add it to your design repertoire. As usual, we also chat about some other links and fun things. Monotype have gobbled up another collection of typefaces, our friend Elliot Jay Stocks has shared his experience of moving his website to use variable fonts, there's some chatter about blocking web fonts for privacy reasons, and the London Fire Brigade have a charming new custom typeface. You know the drill - if you've seen something cool on the internets that you think we should know about, you can let us know on Twitter or Instagram. You can find us @theleagueof on both platforms.

Those of you who remember the glory days of web design, Web 2.0, Flash and ActionScript, when the FWA and Deviant Art were just getting started, and when everything felt new and exciting, almost like a Wild West of the Internet, then our next guest will make you smile. Elliot Jay Stocks is a legend in the web design world. He began working as a junior designer for EMI Music, which he admits was a lucky break thanks to his portfolio, which had all the websites he'd designed and built for friends' bands while studying Contemporary Media Practice at university. Some of you will remember Elliot's time spent at Carsonified – the website he designed for that agency went down in the web design hall of fame and today is still seen as a turning point for the industry. With all that experience, Elliot has done a ton of talks around the world and written for magazines such as Computer Arts and Dot Net. In 2010, he launched a print magazine called 8 Faces, dedicated to type, typography and lettering. Later on, he joined Typekit as Creative Director, which has since become Adobe Fonts. Then, after getting married and becoming a father, he and his wife Samantha launched their own magazine on the elusive idea of work-life balance. Today, he's working with Google on Fonts Knowledge, a library of original guides to the world of typography. Interestingly, he's been remote since 2013, working from his peaceful garden office near Bristol and where I was invited to sit down and chat about his journey so far. Surrounded by many keyboards and instruments, showing a clear passion for making music on the side, we wanted to know if Elliot ever sits still and whether side projects and experiments have always been a focus. We wanted to ask how he feels about working for Google. And whether he's managed to achieve that ultimate goal that we all dream of – to balance life with work and be happy. Season Four of The Creative Boom Podcast is kindly sponsored by Astropad Studio.

We ask how one man can go from designing websites for local bands to heading up Google Fonts Knowledge. Smashing's Vitaly Friedman talks to Elliot Jay Stocks to find out. 

Special guest Elliot Jay Stocks joins the program. He’s a designer, publisher, and musician and we talk about side projects, staying focused, and how to find value in all aspects of our work.

Welcome to another conversation I had with a remarkable creative. Last Summer, I met designer Elliot Jay Stocks, who has worked for clients including Microsoft, Virgin, EMI, MailChimp, and Campaign Monitor. He is also an electronic musician who records under the name of Other Form, as well as a speaker and design author. His current job is co-founder and Creative Director of the lifestyle magazine Lagom. He is probably most known for being the founder of another magazine though, the bi-annual printed typography magazine (and soon-to-be book) 8 Faces. Elliot also used to work as Adobe Typekit’s Creative Director. So of course we talked a lot about type and typography, but also about working for Adobe, as well as working with your partner, turning a magazine into a book, and releasing a record. Please check the shownotes on www.creative.fm for links to his many projects.

In the summer of ‘07 in a flood-soaked Oxford, England, Elliot appeared on stage for the very first time. His presentation, ‘Progressive Enhancement & Intentional Degradation’, looked at how to reward modern browsers with the latest CSS tricks and punish IE by dropping certain site features. Over two years later, what has changed? We’re starting to see the ideology of progressive enhancement — especially with CSS3 — spread throughout the web design community, but more work needs to be done. What can we do to spread the message further and design a better-looking web faster? Elliot will look at how features of the CSS2.1 and CSS3 specs can enhance your websites and he’ll examine the implication of using such techniques. He’ll look at the issues surrounding font embedding and the recent development of the font-as-service; the arguments about browser support; the potentially controversial irrelevance of validation; and how we can attempt to reach the future sooner by writing forward-thinking code. In this motivational presentation Elliot will urge you to embrace the techniques of modern web design and to stop worrying about the so-called restraints. Elliot Jay Stocks is an independent designer whose work is frequently featured in online and offline publications, showcased on various ‘inspiration’ websites, and used as an example to design students around the world of how accessible web design can still look beautiful. A regular face at design conferences around the globe and author of the best-selling book Sexy Web Design (SitePoint, 2009), Elliot can often be found writing about design trends, issues, and techniques for industry-leading publications such as .Net (aka Practical Web Design), Computer Arts, and Computer Arts Projects. His extensive portfolio includes work for clients such as The Virgin Group, WordPress.org, The Beatles, Blue Flavor, Twiistup, EMI Records, and Carsonified.
