I’m currently working as a designer for a digital agency. I’m from Rijeka where the last WordCamp was held and after seeing how well organized it was and how awesome the community is I just felt the need to contribute in some way to WordCamp Split. I’ve been designing since forever, but as most designers, I am rarely satisfied with the final product, there is always room for improvement. That’s part of the appeal I guess, looking at what you did yesterday and thinking \u201eI can do better\u201c. My masters was on typography, I\u2019m really passionate about it and am always trying to learn new things and improve my skills. I enjoy 80\u2019s horror movies and casual weightlifting.<\/em><\/p>\n What\u2019s your WordPress connection, how did you started?<\/strong><\/p>\n I started working with WordPress because I wanted a simple way to turn my designs into fully functional websites and Joomla was too messy for my taste (this was back in 2008). As I learned more about building themes and plugins I started writing WordPress related articles on my site which I really enjoyed. The best part about it was reading comments from all the people finding the articles useful, as well as their suggestions for\u00a0improving the code.

What will you talk about?<\/strong><\/p>\n WordPress community is focused on good code practices which are\u00a0a great thing but design aspect is often neglected. The main goal of my talk is to show that designing a brand around a product (theme or a plugin) is as important as the code that powers it. Of course that not everyone has the time or budget to invest in design (especially when it’s a one man project) but I will try to provide tips on how to easily establish the basic visual identity of a product.<\/em><\/p>\n We have released 200 tickets<\/strong> with a price of $20 (around 130 kn) and you can buy them at the Tickets<\/a> page.
