Things I can never remember but always need...

Posted by amandar

...That's actually the name of a note I have saved on my computer. I'm not the most technically savvy person, nor do I have a great memory. Being that doing certain things in Drupal aren't always easy (or easy to remember), I usually have to write things down so I can do it again later. So with my new fancy (but the same) Drupal 7 site, I decided to share my notes about the most common things I do in Drupal that I always forget how to do!

Freebie: Photoshop shapes

Posted by amandar

For those of you left who still use Photoshop (I ashamedly raise my hand!), shapes can come in really handy when working. If you don't already have a library built up, I recommend starting now. I make and use shapes all time in my work and I love them!!

Dilemma of Designing in Drupal

Posted by amandar

A few months ago I tweeted about how in my opinion a lot of Drupal sites out there are horribly laid out and ugly. This is a harsh statement, but it got me thinking about why this happens. There are Drupal groups and even conferences dedicated to improving the quality of Designs in Drupal but yet not a lot has changed.

Keep Calm and Drupal On

Posted by amandar

I've always loved the british wartime graphic "keep calm and carry on" so I came up with my own version of it which is playful and drupal-related. Hope you like it! It's available as wallpapers for desktops and iPhones and iPads.

This is not an April fools joke! :)

Female + Designer = Amateur

Posted by amandar

Anyone that knows me knows I am 100% not a feminist. That doesn't mean that I am subservient to men, don't have a strong personality, or don't stand up for myself. It just means that I don't agree with the contemporary idea of 'feminism' where women complain about every little opposition that comes their way. (Edit: Not to say that every feminist is like this, but some are) I prefer to fight my battles on my own. I never wanted to use this blog to talk about personal matters because I wanted to keep it professional. That said theres every so often that a 'man' will do something so shocking that I feel it necessary to put on blast.
