Designing in the Browser is Good for the Environment*

TIME TO TAKE DESIGN TO A NEW LEVEL

There are many reasons to switch from photoshop to more dynamic ways of designing.
If we design in code we can offer interactive, clickable prototypes. We can put them online and test early on all kinds of devices. Our fellow developers will love them. We can finally crush that difficult bridge between design and development.

TOOLS

But where to start? For sure we need tools that stimulate our creativity, not limit it.
And we want to design, invent, not produce Bootstrap clones.

In this session we'll look at accessible options for in-the-browser design.
Yes, responsively. And yes, there are some drag-and-drop options out there that won't get you lost in code.

GETTIN' JIGGY WITH IT

Giving up on your old friends fireworks and photoshop can be a scary idea.
This session, however, will make that process a lot less painful.

In a hands-on demonstration we'll brew a design starting from a blank page, and make our way to a responsive, mobile-first prototype.

MAKING FRIENDS

Last but not least, we'll focus on how to best prepare our result for a Drupal project.
We'll anticipate and use only design elements and features that can survive within Drupal.
We'll try to be smart on performance and the number of http requests, too!
Because our fellow developers love that more than flowers.
(That's why designing in the browser is good for your working environment.)
