design

Hi all,

I'm working on creating a requirements analysis template for our projects, and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on necessary or best practices in a requirements analysis. Either in terms of content, structure, or anything at all really! Just thought it would be interesting to get your thoughts on this very important part of the planning process. I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!

Andrea

We've been using Zen on most of our Drupal projects for the past three years at Insfilo Branding Agency, and when its time to redesign our portfolio website on February 2011, we just can't think of any other theme that is both simple and flexible enough to drupalize the design.
Thank you Zen and the Drupal Community :)

At ideup!, on the 6th of June we tested Drupal 7's Bartik theme. The target was to verify which parts of the whole theme were well organized and easy to be adopted by the users and which ones did not.

Summary

The good news are that there is nothing critical that could turn wrong the impression of a newcommer ;-D.

Over the past few months we've been working away behind the scenes on the Drupal Design site prototype. There are quite a number of technical considerations when building a new drupal.org sub-site so these needed to be ironed out before we could really show this off.

I've posted a number of screen grabs to Notable and we can use these to collect comments and feedback on the various screens throughout the site - you can leave general comments here but if you're wanting to leave comments about the actual screens please post those to Notable.

I'm hoping to find a company in the Boulder/Denver area that can help us with website usability testing. Wondering if the group can send me some referrals.

Drupal Design sub site will allow uploading of design files for sharing with other users. There are three main sections to the site:

• Challenges - where users contribute and collaborate on design problems for drupal.org, drupal projects, drupal core and so on.
• Assets - where users can upload and download high quality layered design files such as icons, templates, textures and so on.
• Discussion - where users can post comps for discussion, collaboration, feedback and so on.

Hi folks.
I was wondering something.
Last night, when I had someone visit my website wich you all may review at:
http://keithnet.dyndns.org
I was told seriously that the font is not optimal for people with low vision.
As I have committed myself to insureing my site is optimized for low vision users as well as screen reader users, hear is what I need to know.
It should be noted that I'm using Druapl Core without modification, I.e. No eextra themes, etc.
What I'm using is the default Draupl core layout as designed after an installation witht he bartic theme.

As part of our "Designers Toolkit" we are going to put up an example site to show all of Drupal cores front end output. This is to show designers what Drupal is and what it can do. I've been jamming some ideas and come up with simple site brief for this and wanted to open this up for public discussion befor we move ahead and actually build this.

Principles are important. They ensure consistent and fair decision making and they set objectives for us all to work towards. Most of all, they keep us honest.

We've been looking at establishing a set of principles that encapsulate our intentions in this initiative and give designers a strong story of Drupal. It would be great to get some feedback on the principles we have been working on.

The Design Initiative has three main goals - build a new core theme, build a new collaboration site for designers, and community outreach. The new core theme initiative is well under way and we're tantalizingly close to design.drupal.org becoming a reality. What we need to do now is step up a gear and start thinking about outreach.
