European Union opened a competition for their EU Organic brand. Purpose of marking products with this sign is for consumers to quickly find healthy and natural products.
More about the competition you can find on their brief page. It was open for students of art and design from academy, university or college from any EU member country.
In the beginning of 2010 I encountered way more companies looking for Drupal developers than in the 2009. This may happen because of the hype when White House went to Drupal. Drupal is a CMS that runs the White House’s website – so we will use it too!
I am guessing that currently there is not enough good Drupal developers on the market. Of course I am referring to developers that work with this CMS for some years now, I doubt that LAMP developer is hard to find.
I’ve made a list to some RSS feeds where you can get some new projects:
All of them are form Drupal.org and are filtered for mostly remote work. I would suggest you not to waste time and money on other services. Services for freelance developers looking for work are full of low budget projects, many based on spec work. I see developers biding for big projects for only $100. This is not the price rate Drupal developer should be working for.
If you have any other source for Drupal based work (design on developing) leave me a link in the comment. Thanks.
One of the things in my 2010 resolution lost is designing my very first unique Drupal Theme for the Drupal community.
In one of my post I was pointing out the problem with design solutions in Drupal themes. Most of the apealing (I won’t say good) designes are importem from Wordpress themes. That is strange, because Wordpress has nothing to do with Drupal. With WP you build blogs, with Drupal you build multiuser sites.
With this in mind I try to design a Theme that could be used as a Drupal Theme with its full potential.
Working in a small team often forces the designer to do more than only design buttons in Photoshop. In many cases Web designers are in charge of the whole process before developing.
We all know planing should be a part of the process, but sometimes we have to crash into a brick wall to realize how important it really is. Read the rest of this entry »
I was just browsing through drupal showcase on drupal.org (http://drupal.org/forum/25). This is the forum where other put their Drupal based sites.
There was a post Extreme Theming with commnet: Believe me it is a Drupal Site!
And here it is, the Extreme Drupal Theme:
As you can see it is terrible and the worst part is that they offer services like Web design!
But what were drupal.org members saying? They like it! That is why they needed to outsource design studio of Mark Boulton. There are only few active members of Drupal community that are aware of importance of visual design on the internet.
As a very passive user I decided to use this opportunity and prove my self like Drupal Themer. Keep in touch, first free Drupal theme will be coming soon!
I first meet Drupal when friend of mine Damjan used it on one of his project two years ago. Before that I was mostly coding HTLM and CSS for others or programmer done the rest. At that time I was aware of Smarty template engine and use it on one of friend’s home made CMS.
So when I first meet Drupal I was a newbie in PHP programming with decent skills in designing and HTML and CSS coding. I can share some of my experiences to get you on track to set up your first usable Drupal web site. Read the rest of this entry »
This is the third grand opening of my personal blog (on this domain). Even this time my older posts were deleted, because I wasn’t very proud of them.
My name is Iztok Smolic (or in Slovene: Iztok Smolič). For 3 years now I am introducing my self as a Web designer, although I always end up doing other things as well. I am also a Student, a son, a grandson, a brother, an uncle, a boyfriend and a friend. As you noticed I am from Slovenia, very nice and friendly country but it has its limits so I try to go beyond our borders time to time to see how things are going on in the word. If you need of my services send me an email or get me on one of many social sites (Twitter, FB, LinkedIn).
You can check my CV on this blog and I promise I will keep it updated.
