Eric Meyer reposted thisEarly last year I ventured out on my own again, taking on contract design work after a long stretch away. Not long after, I settled on a name to work under, and now I’m excited to share that name and a website to go along with it: Loud Room. The name is inspired in part by my time in Brooklyn working in shared spaces with friends, but honestly, I also just liked the sound and look of it. It feels a little mysterious and kinetic, and the rhythm of two four-letter words is handy for a logo. Once I managed to reclaim the domain from a squatter, it felt like everything had aligned. Loud Room is me, and it may always be just me. As I wrote last year, I want to stay small to get closer to the work and create space for quality. I want to work directly with clients who care about craft and want to dig into the details of where their projects could go. I bring deep experience across many types of design, including branding, product, publishing, and marketing. I enjoy wearing all of those hats, whether on a one-off project or as a founding designer helping companies that are just starting out. I’m aiming to work with local clients when possible, as well as organizations trying to make the world better. I’m trying to build something sustainable, and I want to work with people who are doing the same. With so much upheaval in the world, I want to put my energy into useful work and relationships that help people, even in small ways. When projects need more hands, I pull in trusted colleagues to help, something I’ve already done a few times since last year. I’m enjoying the energy of reconnecting with other freelancers and supporting one another along the way. A New Website: The Loud Room website is intentionally minimal right now. It’s less a portfolio and more a statement of purpose, something to put out into the world. The site will evolve over time, and I’ll add work samples as projects wrap up. For now, I’m comfortable with the simplicity and the small amount of friction in asking someone to read a few paragraphs. I had a blast creating the logo and making a simple static website without any frameworks. I can’t stop using HEX Franklin, and I’ve always wanted to make a site with a randomizing color palette. I tried to ensure that each color scheme maintains enough contrast for basic accessibility, and love the bit of chaos when a garish palette shows up. I’ve also moved all of my font designs under Loud Room, which will now serve as my foundry. I admire the multidisciplinary models of companies like Coudal Partners, Panic, and Young Jerks, and I want Loud Room to be a place where I can experiment, play, and make things that don’t fit neatly into one category. Fonts are the focus right now, but not the limit. If you care about craft, working closely with humans, and not having generic design spat out by a machine, consider me for your next project. https://loudroom.com/Eric Meyer reposted thisSay hello to Loud Room, a small design practice focused on craft, learning, and human relationships. https://loudroom.com/

Eric Meyer reposted thisEric Meyer reposted thisMy book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. https://lnkd.in/dyN59U9i The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech. Even though the book is nearly nine years old, I get regular requests for where to buy it, and universities and colleges still include it on their reading lists. I’ll add the audiobook files to the site in the next few weeks. And I’m considering other platforms and formats that might make Accessibility For Everyone easier to access. Please let me know if you have a preference, I’m still not 100% sure where’s best to focus my time.

Eric Meyer reposted thisEric Meyer reposted this"Standards, Inc: Inside the new, old organization with Seth Dobbs" Last week Brian Kardell and Eric Meyer spoke with Seth Dobbs on the Igalia podcast. They discussed W3C, how Seth became CEO and the Vision for W3C: Seth: "So the principles help emphasize what's important in operating and running and making the day to day. But the core vision, there's four key pieces that are the core vision of the World Wide Web. First is that the web is for all humanity. Second is that the web is designed for the good of all people. Third is that the web must be safe to use. And fourth, there is one interoperable, World Wide Web..." Eric Meyer: "...even if it's the first vision statement that W3C has ever had. It's almost saying, 'Well, this is what we've been doing. This has been the vision. We've just written it down now" https://lnkd.in/gSiC8VPu
