I've been having fun working with the Drupal Association on the design for their new Drupal store.

I was in Amsterdam over the weekend for Frontend United – three days of focused workshops, talks and sessions on design, frontend engineering and Drupal.

There was a great deal of energy and focus for improving the frontend development experience in Drupal 8, and some brilliant sessions.

I presented on Object Oriented CSS, and you can find my session slides below!

While putting together the social icons for our new custom site font (to keep everything resolution independent – try looking at this site on a retina display!), the official Google plus icon just felt out of place. So I worked up a new version, still I think very much on brand, but referencing G+ circles, and a bit closer to our own site style.

I have put together an icon set so you can use it in your own project should you wish!

One of the most important and complex aspects of a DrupalCon is the schedule. An enormous amount of work goes into getting it right from the huge number of session submissions, which have to be reviewed and selected by the track chairs and their teams, to the people whose job it is to carefully consider and decide time slots for all of them.
