Issue 284

Happy New Year! 2021 is not starting very well here in the UK as we head back into lockdown, I remain hopeful things will improve.

I am writing this having just submitted my MA dissertation, last week was also my last week as Editor in Chief of Smashing Magazine. Both of these things mean I have a bit more time for my own projects in 2021. So you can expect some interesting layout stuff from me. Watch this space!
