DrupalCon Austin 2014: THINKING INSIDE THE BOX INSIDE THE BOX INSIDE THE BOX

This talk covers the importance of creating cohesive design systems by prioritizing the development of living style guides before individual pages. The speaker, codingdesigner, explores how many web projects often lose their visual harmony due to inconsistent components and layouts as they progress. By advocating for a design-first approach using Style Prototypes, the session emphasizes assembling a unified collection of components and layouts, rather than designing in isolation. Attendees will learn about various technical principles and benefits, with a focus on intermediate to advanced techniques in Sass and Responsive Web Design, including Sass partials, extends, mixins, and the use of Compass extensions like Breakpoint and Singularity Grid System.
