This session is not about code. No code no code no code. No really, no code.

This session will showcase a unique approach we've pioneered at Chapter Three leveraging Adobe Fireworks to use an in-house created template to transform our designs from good to amazing. We will be showing you how to address a lot of elements that make sites look Drupal-y and show you how to create Future-Proof-Extendable-Design.

What the heck does that mean? You'll have to show up to find out, but we guarantee that if you design sites for Drupal, that you will use the tools that we have to share.

Whether you're creating an original elaborate design from scratch, or just need to produce someting really quick, this templated approach serves as an excellent tool for sites of all sizes.

I wrote a blog about this a while back with link to download the template.

Chapter Three's lead designer, Floor Vahn will be giving a demo of how using Fireworks with The Chapter Three template will speed up your design process by about 500%.

If we see code can we throw things at you? :)

Cutting something by 100%

Cutting something by 100% leaves nothing. So cutting something by 200% leaves.... well... in the negatives?

Does that mean that using the Chapter Three template will actually generate more time for writing code?
