Thinking

Tickets for this year's dConstruct go on sale on Tuesday, May 21st at 11am. I'm telling you this because, believe me, you won't want to miss out on this year's event.

With a bank holiday on Monday, last week was another short one. But with Andy B, Andy D and Kate back in the office, there is still plenty to report back on.

In the run-up to this year’s Ampersand web typography conference we're offering two fantastic, highly practical, full-day workshops.

Thirteen. Unlucky for some, but not for me! Although responsibility for May's weeknotes has fallen upon my shoulders, Andy, our excellent intern, graciously pulled this week's together without me even asking.

Weeks go by way too quickly around here.

Recovering from a fantastic UX London in the best way possible, Kate is taking some well-deserved time off.

We're really excited to announce that Matter – the scientific publishing start-up we worked on with our friend Bobbie Johnson – has been acquired by Obvious Corporation. Here's our part of the story.

This week was almost entirely monopolised by some conference called UX London. And what a conference it was.

Pattern portfolios are a great way to deliver modular, flexible and responsive design systems. They also offer huge benefits to both clients and technical partners when compared to traditional page-by-page static page template deliverables.

Judging by the amount of activity in the Clearleft office this week, you'd think we were already packing up to move into our new office.

We’re really pleased to announce the full schedule for this year’s Ampersand web typography conference.

It’s been a shorter week than usual, what with the Easter holidays about to kick off. The Clearlefties are dispersing to celebrate the feast of the Zombie Christ in their own individual ways.

The big news this week is somewhat bittersweet: Harry is leaving us for pastures new and the undiscovered country of freelancing. We’ll miss having him around.

Richard is back from South by Southwest and he’s brought a miserable cold back with him. So he’s taking some time out to recuperate. Meanwhile Andy is off galavanting in Mexico with some post-SxSW sunshine and diving. The rest of us persevere in the cold drab English weather.

It’s been less than two weeks since we had our Responsive Day Outhere in Brighton and we’re all still buzzing with ideas from the knowledge bombs that were dropped in the Corn Exchange.

The big news this week was the announcement of our move to a new office later this year. This is something we’re all really excited about. We’ve been gleefully poring over architectural drawings like Bond villains planning their lair. I’m still holding out for a fireman’s pole right down the middle of the building. Is that too much to ask?
