The excellent Australian design mag Desktop graced Drupal with a two page spread entitled Meet my new pal: Drupal (April 08 edition).
Matthew Magain makes the case for Drupal from a designer point of view, in a refreshing style without jargon. You can read the full text here.
Magain thrilled us here at Em Space with a glowing review of our Simon's presentation:
"A highlight of the day was the Lonely Planet case study presented by Simon Hobbs... Regular readers of this column will be aware of my blatant bias towards accessible, semantic html over Flash or table-based layouts, so it should come as no surprise then that this presentation to stood out as Hobbs described the process that his team followed when implementing a stunning visual design using best-practice techniques (clean, semantic mark-up styled with CSS). The presentation was also a good example of how Drupal can be used to implement a design that was conceived without any knowledge of the technology to be used to implement it - the way it should be."
Sime was pretty pleased with himself after all that, ha!...
You know, it's great to get a bit of dead-tree credibility and it was lovely to see one of our photos in print. From our experience, most Melbourne designers read Desktop from front to back, so this is fantastic for growing Drupal in Australia.
Magain wrote the article after accepting our invite to our Melbourne MiniCon in February this year.
Needless to say, we think he's ace.
