FEBRUARY 26TH — 1-6PM

THE GARAGE AT TECH SQUARE

ATLANTA, GA

Hello, friends.

I want to take a moment to bring your attention to a very cool event that’s coming to Atlanta on February 26. Web Afternoon is a one-day conference that’s known for its amazing lineup of speakers, as well as for the practical knowledge and tools that attendees take away. Web Afternoon’s goal is simple: to help designers be better at their jobs.

The speakers at February’s Web Afternoon: Design Edition are, simply, the best. They include Meg Lewis (Founder/Director, Ghostly Ferns), Hannah Donovan (Product Designer, Drip), Jason Pamental (author of Responsive Typography, Director of Design/Product Experience, Fresh Tilled Soil), Becky Simpson (Author/Illustrator of I’d Rather Be Short, Adobe’s first creative resident), and Tara Victoria (Founder, Hatch & Harbour Design Studio). They’ll be speaking on several topics, including

• design processes that actually work
how to build extinction-proof apps
• the future of typography
• how to make today’s best tools work for you
• building an audience while creating for you
• getting back to the work you love
• big-picture product branding

We also have a panel of the regions most experienced and gifted designers will share their thoughts on what it takes to be a design leader. How to deal with tough clients; How to fight for the best ideas; Where to look for inspiration; What the future of design looks like, and more.

The panel includes Rick Anwyl, Chris Coleman, Hank Richardson, Matt Smith, and Zia Kahn.
