Comic Places
Comic Places is the brain child of Seth Cohn, an expert Drupal developer, and myself which we created for the DESIGN4DRUPAL Convention at MIT. What we decided to do was to create the “uncommon” Drupal theme. We wanted to develop a content rich website that looked and acted like a comic book. The key to this was if you weren’t a designer, or didn’t have time to cut images, or wanted different layouts for different pages, you could achieve it all through the admin panels.
Through a regular Drupal installation and some public modules the theme featured:
- Custom Home Page Cover with automated issue number
- Corner JQuery showing off next page content
- Custom Panel placement; Pick your page layout on the ‘fly”
- Image placement and effect courtesy of Imagemagik
- Font replacement by the tag
- Content area published through title and alt tags, pulled out and placed via CSS
- Comments via talk bubbles and horizontal placement to act like a comic book
- …. and many more
The presentation at MIT went very well; it worked exactly like we wanted it to. We put it together in our spare time in less than 30 days prior to the Conference.
