Typography is at the very heart of the web. Unfortunately, web typography generally sucks. This presentation will help anyone – developer or designer – not suck at typography. From Em-dashes to hanging punctuation, we'll cover simple fundamentals of good typography for the web.

What will be covered in this presentation:

• Typographic Structure
• Hierarchy and language
• Whitespace and typographic colour
• Typesetting on the web
• Tables, lists and forms
• @font-face and font embedding

This session is for designers who are new, or moderately new to Drupal. During this session, we'll explore common user centered design methodologies and map them to architecting an experience in Drupal.

By the end of this session, you will have a solid grasp of:
- Why you might use Drupal over Wordpress or Joomla
- Installing Drupal locally without technical knowledge. Alternatively, using Acquia Garden as your base.
- Drupal's features and major add-ons. What's possible in Drupal and how would you go about defining it.
