Project re:brief: "advertising re-imagined" for the web. Google, Arcade Fire: The Wilderness Downtown. (2) left brain versus right brain, divergent versus convergent thinking, Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Education Paradigms on YouTube, Nicholas Felton: information designer and cofounder of, a home for collecting and communicating your daily data. (1) We should take risks and learn from our mistakes. 4 areas that feed into the creative approach: (1) embracing failure, (2) storytelling, (3) designing everything, (4) design as a differentiator. Creativity is the process of having original ideas that add value. I left this talk after only a few minutes because it was too basic for me.-Brad Haynes: The Design Revolution or The Creative Approach. Continued with afternoon sessions.-Johan Falk: Essential knowledge for Drupal beginners. Eric showed his Lensse camera stabilizer. Lunch in Hall A: veggie wrap, granny smith apple, water. The theme key module enables you to specify a different theme for a specific page.
Links: is.gd/denvertheming and is.gd/lvlupthemer. The Theme Developer module is buggy, so don't leave it enabled all the time. He mentioned the Style Guide module which I'm not yet using in any site. In addition to a refresh, I got a few things that were helpful. I took this session knowing that I already knew a lot of it, but it has been a long time since my theming training and a long time since I did any Drupal theming that I felt like I needed it for review. Walgreen's is only a few blocks away, so I walk it and although it's really cold I survive. I am still sick with a cold all day today, so I visit Walgreen's to get some new supplies: three boxes of ultra soft Kleenex tissues and more Mucinex, this time with DM. More stuff is going in core to improve the out-of-the-box experience. Concentrate on 3 audiences: developers, site visitors, authors. Weaknesses: (a) rudimentary authoring experience, (b) aging web dev framework, (c) small Drupal talent pool. (Throughout the next 5 days I include the notes I took at some of the DrupalCon sessions and might not necessarily fully explain them all.) We attend Dries's keynote. The breakfast buffet is about $16 if you have hot items, about $10 if you have the continental breakfast. Breakfast with Eric D at Pi Kitchen and Bar, the restaurant in our hotel.
