The Graphic Designer has a easy task to design the website from her point of view. A Photoshop representation of how the site should look is created and passed to a.graphic coder takes the representation graphic and converts it into html, css and series of images this is the template. The template is used as the basis for a program to render content.
For each platform there is a specification for construction of a template. For drupal this spec is called Themer Guide and is highly detailed but is over 500 pages long when printed. What I believe we need to create is a basic Theme template which can be used with well organized locations to place HTML, CSS and image to construct a drupal theme.
Adapting a template comes is two parts the page layout of regions plugged in the template and styling of content within the regions. The styling of content requires that the content is marked correctly to be addressed by CSS, because drupal has modular generation of content we can expect certain challenge when many modules are used.
I propose an experiment build a experimental template based on the Flan 2 template and see how content is rendered and how CSS can be customized. Stay tunned.
