The workshop is intended for intermediate/advanced designers and developers who have an understanding of responsive design and how it works.

Most techniques are borrowed from mid-size and large-scale real-life projects, such as large eCommerce projects, online magazines and web applications. We won’t cover the basics, instead, the workshop covers more advanced — and often obscure and innovative techniques.

In this workshop, we’ll go hands-on into exploring:

• Responsive art direction techniques and advanced layouts, with many inspiring and memorable examples,
• Navigation, with mega-drop-downs, breadcrumbs, carousels, accordion and filters,
• Builders, with a car configurator and mobile plan builder,
• Forms, with email verification, password input, country selector, privacy issues, sliders and public transportation, and a banking transaction UI,
• Date pickers, date range picker and a time picker, incl. booking an appointment and booking an airline ticket,
• Tables, with a feature comparison table, currency exchange calculator, pricing plans,
• Search, with autocomplete, filters, search results,
• Calendars, with a multi-track schedule, TV Guide schedule, music festival schedule, exhibition calendar, spreadsheets and dashboard,
• Audio/Video, with a video player UI and audio-based input,
• Maps / Data Visualization, with a shopping mall map, election map, smart region input,
• Timelines, with a historical timelines, soccer game signature and live leaderboard and standings,
• Real-time experience with betting UI for soccer, poker and live video streaming,
• Footnotes and sidenotes in magazine articles,
• Seat selection, for a concert/theatre/exhibition and a perfect airplane check-in,
• Responsive PDF for documents and restaurant menus,
• Responsive upscaling, with eCommerce experience on large screens and article layout on large screens,
• Design anti-patterns to avoid to prevent running into maintenance issues and “slow UX decay”.

What hardware/software do you need?

You’ll need to bring a lot of creativity with your preferred coffee mug. We’ll be spending a lot of time drawing, sketching, designing and thinking. Laptop is preferred but not absolutely necessary. You’ll need a lot of sleep reserves since it’s going to be a packed day. Bring a lot of attention to detail and non-standard thinking to this one! ;-)
