design

Following webchick analisys of oters sites.

From an usability standpoint I think we should consider seriously point 4 of Request for proposals for a redesign of Drupal.org - Scope and Guidelines: 4. Developers -> Future dev landing page?

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of Toronto-based web design & development firms that offer Drupal services?
Thanks.

At the end of a Business Innovation Factory talk, Walt Mossberg and Jason Fried (from 37 Signals) talk about Open Source Software. Video here, at approximately 3/4 from the beginning.

Here's a quick n'dirty transcript of a small part of the talk:

Garrett Dimon is writing a series of posts on the design of his issue tracking system. The design if for smaller projects than Drupal, but it may provide some inspiration.

So far:

Slides for my "Achieving Awesome Drupal Design" presentation have been saved as a PDF document and are available for download. The PDF export did not work correctly for slides with lots of animation such as the design examples. Half of the design examples were from my workplace Image X Media so you can always visit our portfolio there to see many of the examples again. The presentation was taped and I'm sure that it will be online soon.

Greetings again.

After the excellent work from yoroy in the Donate spotlight banner (now in rotation on Drupal.org) I am back again to request help for another design issue for the Drupal.org website. We want to prominantly place a donate link on the Drupal.org site that shows on all pages. We are requesting design ideas for how to implement this into the current BlueBeach theme. Yoroy has again stepped forward with a design proposal:

We have opened registration to the web site of our next Drupalcon in Barcelona. By registering at http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org you will be able to post your session proposals and post in the site's forums. Conference registration is NOT yet open but it will be soon. Keep an eye on it!

Also, a logo design contest has been opened. Deadline is June 10th. You can read all the details about the contest on http://barcelona2007.drupalcon.org/news/2007/05/11/design-contest-drupal...

Go for it!

Greetings.

I am a volunteer fund raiser on the Board of the Drupal Association. We are working on better integration between the main Drupal.org website and the association.drupal.org website. One of the obvious things we are working on first is a 'Spotlight' image for the Drupal association - these are the graphics that show up in the rounded box on the upper right of drupal.org; 'Drupal Planet' 'Security Announcements' etc.
