Design for Drupal is about bringing the community of designers together to be a part of the Drupal community. It’s about enabling designers and themers to do great stuff, coordinate efforts, come up with crazy ideas, and build a movement to make Drupal beautiful.

Workshop: Drupal 7 Site Building Extravaganza
Earlier this year I asked my mailing list what they needed help with when it came to theming Drupal. Although every answer was unique, the most common frustration boiled down to, "I just don't get it. I don't understand the big picture. It's chaotic and it makes me feel stupid." ... It's as if Drupal was some kind of dangerous monster that kills kittens for fun. Drupal is powerful, no doubt, but only if you know how make it do what you want.

Assistance with theme changes
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me in figuring out how to change something in an already existing theme. I am learning Drupal, all at the same time [configuration, architecture, templates and css] - I am actually a designer and my intention is to master it, but right now I am stuck in something I think is a very simple css/template glitch. [by the way, I am new to the community/groups so my apologies if this isn't the way/place to ask for help].

Design Camp Prague: How to get more Designers involved in Drupal.
This is a slightly altered copy of our blogpost. But as g.d.o is a much better place for discussion, it makes sense to repost it here.
Outcomes from a brainstorming session at Design Camp Prague.
Who is a designer?
Well, even trying to define what a designer is needs a consensus. Being the host of this memorable session, I tried to gear it more in the direction of artistic designers that know little or nothing about coding, the most they would know is HTML and CSS, but no PHP (run and hide). It is this group of people that are really good at aesthetics but that hate coding that Drupal sorely lacks. Concerning people that are active in the issue queue, we had a consensus in another session that you cannot count more than four in all of Drupal. (which may be wrong, but it sure feels like this).

Making money using Template Framework or Base Theme for Drupal
Drupal Theme clubs are starting now to get traction. Coming from Wordpress or Joomla they have matured as efficient theme development companies and offer great support for members. Following the discussion of how much a premium drupal theme costs or how to make a theme club http://groups.drupal.org/node/8186 I think the answer is to develop an efficient Theme Development Framework. Without this, you cannot charge as low as 200$ for a Drupal theme, even if all PSD files are existing.
