Many informative lessons that I didn't know before. And his presentation is top class. Thanks, @awwwards.
These talks are informative and inspirational. Too bad that at 12:31 we get to not see 'it coming together'. Seems like we miss a piece of information there, as is with more awwwards video's where we see the speaker but not the presentation.

Where can I get a link to the Amsterdam website? really cool!
Thanks man! You're just awesome!
I love this talk! But I have to bring this up again @awwwards. This is a talk about a presentation. It's literally depending on the slides and the graphics. Is it really impossible for you to show the screens instead of the closeups of the speaker? He is talking about something that he is showing on the screen, and I have no idea what he is talking about. I like it when you showed the extra window at the top left of the screen. I guess that should be there at all times? This "problem" goes back to most of your videos. I would really appreciate it if you took some action on this. 🙂

Great content! A big fan of Marcus and Aristide works!
He's amazing. Great presentation!
Wow, so informative! ❤️ I loved his manner of going deep into details, his accuracy and obsession with all the workflow process.
Wow! I'm suprised youtube offered me this video for multiple reasons. 1. I don't follow awwwards youtube channels, but I do view the website occasionally. 2. I studied graphic design in Auckland, New Zealand back when I was just a kid, so hearing Marcus speak, the accent, brought up heaps of memories…in fact, I'd love to chat with that fella. I'm living in Russian now and feeling very sentimental)) Great speech, useful stuff, thank you so much, Marcus!
This presentation was a university by itself! Brilliant!
First-class content. Amazing Work!
