Can any truly good design happen with Drupal? How edgy can you be?

We'll answer these questions an more, as we explore the outer fringe of design, and how it could be built with Drupal.

 How to draw inspiration from the real world: 

things that work, things that inspire, and things that do both

learning from fast food

simplicity is never simple 

How to fake having more design talent than you do:

how to ask important-sounding questions and reveal nothing

10 insanely great buzzwords that are guaranteed to impress

the fine art of idea shopping

 Even if you don’t agree with this approach or any of these techniques, it should leave you thinking differently the next time you sit down to design for Drupal.

Bring a sense of humor and an open mind.
