January 2008: Drupal Theming, From Design Draft to Theme


Rainicity Studios Creative Director

Mark Yuasa, Lead Designer Hubert Florin and Lead Drupal Theme Developer Steve Krueger will take you from a simple design draft to (close to) a completed theme.

This talk is not about the theory. It's about the practical tasks involved in bringing your theme to fruition, all in 45 minutes!

What's covered:

* Creating a theme from scratch / the theme folder
* An intro to creating your own "base" theme
* Some of our favourite Themeable Functions, and how to apply others
* Theming best practices

About Raincity: Raincity Studios has a prolific track-record in creating Drupal themes. In addition to the 60+ original designs created over our 5 year history, Raincity has implemented over a dozen themes for SonyBMG (including fan favourites such as KellyClarksonWeb.com and Ozzy.com), the new spreadfirefox.com, community.eharlequin.com, and the forthcoming Spin Magazine relaunch.

Location Details

Bryght Offices

Raincity Studios are located at 1 Alexander Street, Suite 400 in Gastown.

There's a security intercom at the door, so you'll need to buzz to get in. Take the elevator to the top floor, then take the flight of stairs to the floor above that.

Wireless Access

There is a Free the Net wireless access point accessible from the Bryght offices.

Kid's Room

In recognition of people with families the Bryght conference room is available as a kids room. It is next to the presentation area and has glass walls so your kids will always be in sight. We can't provide child-minding or babysitting services - we just provide the room and leave it to you to entertain your kids. We suggest you bring appropriate toys/books/other entertainment.
