New date for my practical layout workshop for designers

If you thought you’d missed my practical layout workshop for designers, well—thanks to COVID—you didn’t.

Yeah, COVID is still a thing, and last week it knocked me sideways. So far sideways that I had to postpone my practical layout workshop for designers for a week. The new date is this coming Thursday, 25th September online at 3pm UK time. If you bought a ticket, it’s valid for the new date and there’s a special treat coming your way by means of an apology for the inconvenience. If you didn’t, now’s the time to pick one up.

Let’s be honest: Website layouts have become a bit boring

Design systems, frameworks, and templates are everywhere. And sometimes, even great ideas look like everything else. Over the past year, I’ve been exploring how classic layout principles from comics, posters, and magazines can bring energy and storytelling to digital design. This session is where I share what I’ve learned, with examples, demos, and practical takeaways you can actually use.

Why attend?

Grab a seat and join me for a two-hour session where you’ll:

• Explore layout ideas from places like comics, fanzines, movie posters, wrestling promos, and more
• Learn how to break the rules of the grid without breaking your design
• See real-world examples of expressive, narrative-driven layouts for websites and products
• Leave with layout ideas you’ll want to try right away

What we’ll cover

Hour 1: Creative layout thinking

• Why 12-columns aren’t the only option
• How modular grids help create hierarchy
• Why compound grids expand creative options
• Patterns and layout techniques that create visual rhythm

Hour 2: Real demos, real feedback

• Watch me break apart and rebuild layouts live
• See how to apply layout principles to existing designs
• Ask layout questions, and I’ll answer as many as I can in a live Q&A

Who’s this for?

This is for you if:

• You’re a designer or front-end dev tired of playing it safe
• You love good craft, but want more fun and feeling in your layouts
• You’re building sites or products and want them to stand out, not blend in
• You’ve got a basic grasp of layout tools (Figma, Webflow, or code), but want to level up creatively

This isn’t a beginner tutorial or a deep dive into CSS. It’s for working designers who want to push past the obvious and bring more of themselves to the page.
