1. A redesign at last
  
  25 June 2020
  
  Hello and welcome to the new elliotjaystocks.com — which is not just a redesign, but also a full rebuild. In fact, it’s the most substantial re-think of my personal site in about a decade, and the first time the site has had a portfolio section in a good 15 years or so. My plan is to delve into some of the site’s details in further blog posts, but today I’ll attempt a loose-ish overview. Humour an old man, won’t you?

Workshops

Join my typography workshop from the comfort of your home

I’m currently refactoring my Advanced Typography for the Web & Print workshop for remote teaching, and splitting up the content into several modules so that attendees can pick and choose their areas of interest — all at a very affordable price. Want to find out more?

8 Faces

Still a few of these left, too

My first magazine 8 Faces ran from 2010 to 2014 before being collected as a book thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign. Much like Lagom, we’ve taken down our online shop, but still have a handful of back issues available to buy. Please get in touch to arrange payment and shipping. Our blog’s still going, by the way.
