ThemeParkNewsDirect.com was a recently-created Drupal website I was commissioned to skin. One of my graphic artists created the graphics and I then proceeded to use the following Drupal modules:
- Chaos Tool Suite
- Panels
- The new Admin module for Drupal which mimics Drupal 7
- Image module (With the advanced ImageMagick module)
- Views
- Nice Menus – this required a significant amount of fluffing around with the CSS – I just wish there was a good Suckerfish module!
We ended up using the most complicated panel layout and many, many different kinds of views to get the right feel for the front page. The Zen starterkit for Drupal is also a magnificent way to start off a theme, but I’ve often found that one of the biggest problems with Drupal theming is that you have to start with the Drupal ids and classes rather than your own otherwise there’s so much more work involved.
Still, I think you’ll agree that the end result is quite good!
