What Does A "Themer" do? What Is A "Themer"?

Submitted by Bevan Rudge on April 29, 2008 - 4:33pm.

Have you ever wondered what a "themer" actually does? How are they different to a designer and a developer? In it's simplest sense a themere takes a flat static image, the design, provided by the designer, and a mostly-functional but ugly site, provided by a developer, and makes the ugly site look pretty like the designer wants it.

Just got back from Drupal Camp NYC 4, where I did a session on settings up advanced video functionality on Drupal in an hour. In the span of the session I installed Drupal, installed a handful of modules, and got a site that lets users upload video to their site, transcodes it and deposits the file on Amazon's S3 site.
